“It is imperative that the Communities
of Color Network continues to move forward in our efforts to educate and
provide resources to the constituents of Louisiana especially during these
unprecedented times,” said Linda Early Brown, Director of the Communities of
Color Network. “We will continue to
bridge the gap, virtually as we fight to eradicate and/or reduce tobacco consumption
within our communities,” added Brown.
The Communities of Color Network provides support and technical assistance to African-American communities to ensure they are well-informed about the dangers of tobacco, and understand how to protect themselves from unhealthy exposure.
Its mission is to eliminate health inequalities caused by or
related to tobacco use among Louisiana communities of color by building
coalitions, increasing awareness of the dangers of tobacco, and reducing
tobacco consumption and secondhand smoke exposure.
