Stats & Stanzas 2026 - Living Room
2026-04-24 18:00 - 21:00 | Hilton Hotel, 921 SW 6th Ave, Portland, 97204, United States
A PUBLIC HEALTH OF HEALING, RESISTANCE, & RESURGENCE
“against the relentless laughter of evil
there is less and less living room
and where are my loved ones?
It is time to make our way home.”
– June Jordan, moving towards home (1982)
In our ever-present moment of continued state-sanctioned violence – from anti-trans violence and erasure, to racialized pol-ICE violence, to ongoing settler-colonial violence in Palestine, to [insert], to [insert], to [insert] – what does it mean to have/find living room? As home, as homeplace, as belonging. Living room as a place – the sanctuary of sofa, being held, heard, nurtured, loved on. Living room as space – to breathe, to be full, to be whole, to move freely, to unfold, to be allowed/aloud. Living room as invitation – to grow, to be seated, to rise-up, to move in solidarity. What does it take for public health and our communities to protect/preserve room to live / living room / our living rooms?
In a time when LOVE *and* RESISTANCE must be simultaneous acts, this event will illuminate the necessity of both STATS *and* STANZAS to create public health futures of radical possibility.
We invite you to join us for an evening of healing, resistance, and solidarity, featuring poetry readings from a lineup of poets whose work embodies the spirit of poetic health justice. Featured guests include:

Poet Brianna Renae (2018 & 2026 Slamlandia Grand Slam Champion)
Poet Henneh Kwaku Kyereh
DJ SoundsByDontā
Music artist Nafisaria Mathews
Photographer Sai Stone (ShotsBySai)

Some research suggests that recreational cannabis legalization has led to population-level increases in incidence of serious mental disorder.

17th Annual Latiné Health Equity Conference
2026-05-15 08:00 - 17:00 | Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, 97232, United States
Introducing Familias en Acción’s 17th Annual Latiné Health Equity Conference – “Seguiremos Sanando: Culture, Identity, and Collective Well-being.” This year, our conference focuses on healing – mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially.
The Latiné community in Oregon is strong, unique and resourceful despite the lasting harm brought by colonialism, oppression, exclusion, migration, displacement and violence we have experienced. The current political climate is only furthering trauma and harm, making the practice of healing imperative.
Healing within the context of Familias en Acciòn’s Latiné Health Equity Conference speaks to a comprehensive approach to improving the health and well-being of the Latiné community with the grounding of our language, values and culture. Healing is more than treating an illness, it is about reconnecting with who we are, sharing our collective stories, and seeing our cultural practices as core to holistic health. By reclaiming our ancestral knowledge, honoring traditional healing practices, and speaking our truths in the language that carries our histories—Spanish, Indigenous languages, and Spanglish— we can thrive!
Join us for a day of learning, connection, and collective healing.
