Join us for an evening of thoughtful conversation on health care and climate change.
About this event
Talking about the issues that impact your community and our state can be hard. It doesn’t have to be.
UW-Madison’s La Follette School of Public Affairs, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Sustainability Institute have partnered to bring you this interactive town hall. A panel of policy experts will help shed light on major public policy issues related to health care and climate change, and attendees will have a chance to share their thoughts on how the issues affect their community.
