Greetings partners! You are invited to virtually attend:



Mobilized about Menthol: Sharing Experiences from the 2023 Rhode Island ASTHO and CDC/OSH Menthol Learning Collaborative

December 19, 2023 10am-11am EST see Zoom pre-registration instructions below

 

Hosted by:

Oasis International

Rhode Island Department of Health Tobacco Control Program

Health Resources in Action (HRiA)

Tobacco Free Rhode Island (TFRI)

 

Oasis International, a Providence-based nonprofit serving the African immigrant and Providence community, in partnership with Rhode Island Department of Health Tobacco Control Program, is one of eight state grantees participating in the 2023 ASTHO and CDC/OSH Increasing State Menthol Capacity Learning Collaborative.

 

The Collaborative focuses on counter-marketing and public education community engagement expanding the capacity of menthol-specific public health work with priority populations. We examine how the built environment, systems, and policies play a role in menthol tobacco use as well as how community-led efforts can affect change. Materials and community conversations have focused on providing educational information and facilitated discussion training on targeted practices related to menthol and other flavored commercial tobacco products on specific populations. The Collaborative experience, materials, and evaluation results will be shared with a discussion on next steps of the work in Rhode Island.

Dear Friends of Oasis During 2024, we engaged members of our community through the many different community services we provide. This year we ask that you save the date—April 1 st , to join us during 401Gives, a local day of giving. On this day, our goal is to encourage our partners, friends, and community members to support us as we aim to raise funds to further our mission of bringing opportunities to build a healthy, sustainable African Community by investing in and embracing community empowerment to support the enhancement of economic mobility and equity for our community. Each gift made on April 1, 2025, will play a critical role in serving our community with many community services and engagement activities planned throughout the year, allowing us to continue to make an impact. Your relationship with Oasis is important to us and we look forward to engaging with you throughout this year by offering a variety of ways for you to support us. By giving of your time as a volunteer, sharing your talent or special skills that might help us, or through a financial donation, know that your gift of any kind--in any amount, will be greatly appreciated.
