In the AM, I am to present on the work that is being done in our multicultural community to address teen pregnancy and STD prevention with a special focus on the work our youth are doing in the schools and the value of youth/adult partnerships. In the evening, I will be doing a re-cap of the King Middle School contraception proposal 2 years after the controversy.

On 10/29 and 10/30, I traveled to Washington, DC as part of the RWJ-funded Caring Across Communities project lead by the the Portland School’s Multicultural Program. As part of the 2 day mtg, we met with staffers from Senator Snowe and Congresswoman Pingree’s office to stress the importance of school-based health services for multicultural populations. We also thanked Senator Snowe again for her courage in moving forward on the health care reform legislation and urged her support of a public option.
