PIH Engage at UC San Diego team leads, Leana, Emma, and Lauren, flew to Washington, D.C. to attend PIH Engage's 2023 Training Institute. The conference lasted two days and included numerous educational workshops on topics including advocacy, organizing, campaigning, fundraising, and coaching. Team members gained valuable insights, heard from varying speakers, and learned many new skills that they will be able to use in the upcoming school year.

After the weekend, our leads went to the Hill to advocate for bills to advance global health equity, including the Paul Farmer Memorial Resolution. In total, the Engage network was able to complete 100 meetings with staffers for Members of Congress. Our leads even met with the office for Rep. Scott Peters- UCSD's representative!


Special thanks to PIH Engage for hosting such an amazing Training Institute and Hill Day. PIH Engage at UCSD is excited for the upcoming year and can't wait to continue the fight for health equity!
