The 2025 Voices Summit will focus on Centering Community and Driving Toward Equitable Health for All 

At the event we'll focus on centering community in policymaking, using nonpolarizing language to build bridges across political and social divides, and staying true to our commitment to equitable health for all.  

We believe that by learning about people, communities, their histories as well as their today we can become better neighbors and advocates at home. Based in St. Paul Minnesota, this event will highlight the culture, resilience, and leadership of the local Hmong community, whose experiences offer powerful lessons in community strength and cross-cultural learning.
