The Los Angeles Blade, California’s leading LGBTQ+ news media outlet, & East Los Angeles Community College host a Spanish language Monkeypox Town Hall. Monkeypox Town Hall en Espanol on the campus of East Los Angeles Community College is co-sponsored by several community partners. LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis will give welcoming remarks.
Expert panel will discuss the ongoing monkeypox crisis, the inequities of the healthcare system, healthcare access, vaccination efforts, treatment, prevention and advocacy. Monkeypox cases increased in Los Angeles County more than 10-fold in the 2 months since the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the Los Angeles Blade, AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the City of West Hollywood presented a Community Town Hall to alert residents to the emerging threat.
