🎙️ When health professionals share our stories, we help people find their purpose and boldly envision a better future. At #OPOH26, three advocates brought that power to life.

🌎 📢 Today, our advocates turned knowledge into action by bringing their stories and expertise to Capitol Hill! With health costs no longer being considered and protections being rolled back, we need Congressional oversight of EPA’s actions. #OPOH26
So many favorite moments to the #OPOH26 convention including health professionals around the country singing in solidarity. When things feel bleak we can remember: we don’t have to do this alone.
🎤 Who knew climate and health advocates were such good singers? Closing #OPOH26 with a powerful message: You don’t have to do this alone. Thank you to our incredible community for joining us—we are stronger together!
“Collective action is not just mobilization in the moment but alignment over time.”
Through long-term shared accountability, courage, care, and community, we can strengthen our capacity to meet the challenges we’re facing. #OPOH26
Persistence is powerful!
While federal climate action stalls, health professionals are securing wins at the local and state levels—from Georgia to California. At the same time, allies are driving change globally. #OPOH26
Reflecting on a strong first day #OPOH26! Lots of thoughtful conversations about storytelling, building trust, and how health professionals can better connect with communities. Inspired by the collaboration and leadership in this space. Excited for the days ahead! ✨
“If COVID-19 was a stress test for communication, climate change is the final exam.” - Monica Ponder, PhD #OPOH26
We’re in awe of these digital communication powerhouses! In a changing media landscape, we need to be where are patients are with relatable, accessible, and evidence-based messages. #OPOH26 @psr.org
There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to federal climate action—from silencing science to disregarding the health impacts. We can respond by making it personal and local, building collaborations, and sharing our stories.
“We’re all in this fight together.” #OPOH26
Challenging dominant narratives and telling authentic stories builds power. Our Climate & Health Equity Fellowship alumni are putting that into practice across the country. #OPOH26
“Stories make people remember the words you say and the data you want them to know.”
We will certainly remember the powerful stories for change told at #OPOH26, from wildfire smoke and pediatric asthma to eco anxiety and finding our place in the face of burnout.
Inspiring fireside chat with @keyachatterjee.bsky.social at #OPOH26! Important reminders in this moment when we’re up against tough opponents:

- Take up space
- Practice solidarity
- Organize
