UCSF Healthcare Advocates for Social Justice invite you to join us on Tuesday, August 13^th at 12PM for a discussion called “Healing Justice and Traditional Lakota Protocol.” The talk will feature Candi Brings Plenty (they/them), a queer, Indigenous advocate, activist, and lobbyist.

Candi is an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and is a fierce fighter for Indigenous justice. They are a trans non-binary, Two Spirit Warrior Queen who is also a Lakota Spiritual Practitioner, Land Defender, and Water Protector.

You can register for the talk here and learn more about Candi Brings Plenty here. This lecture is free to attend but donations to the Community Organizing for Unified Power (COUP) Council is strongly encouraged.

This event was planned by a diverse group of UCSF staff who organized in response to the ongoing racial injustices. The goal of the UCSF Healthcare Advocates for Social Justice monthly speaker series is to promote critical thinking and action around intersectional structures of power, privilege, and racial oppression in clinical care, education, and beyond. We will continue to highlight the efforts of community antiracism activists.
