You're invited! Please let us know if you can join us for a coalition meeting on April 17th from 3:30-5 at the Winooski School District (WSD) Library to hear directly from youth at WSD about their perspectives on flavored tobacco products.
Also presenting at this meeting will be renowned national expert on how menthol targets the black community, Dr Phillip Gardiner, from the African American Tobacco Control Legal Consortium. We are thrilled that he is able to join.
