<p>MinnPost is committed to reporting on health equity, mental health and addiction in Minnesota, especially when it comes to telling the stories of people working to address the state's persistent health disparities.</p>
<p>Over the past several months, MinnPost has introduced readers to a mental health advocate in St. Cloud who helped refugees plant a vegetable garden on city-owned land; an advocate providing culturally accessible care for domestic abuse survivors; a Native student pursuing a psychology degree through a new program at Bemidji State University; and entrepreneurs inspired by Philando Castile who came up with a way to monitor people's interactions with police during traffic stops.</p>
<p>Join MinnPost writers Ava Kian and Andy Steiner in a conversation with managing editor Harry Colbert, Jr. at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31. They'll discuss how they find stories of hope even as Minnesota's health disparities have been slow to improve.</p>
