In 2023, 300+ healthcare workers of all types, both licensed and unlicensed, paid and unpaid, came together in Durham, NC in the aftermath of a pandemic and a national uprising. There were over 50 workshops and presentations with topics including mental health/anti-psychiatry, insurgent care, FTP/anti-carceral, sexual and reproductive health, transhealth, harm reduction, grief/death/spirituality, disability justice, integrative medicine, health systems, and labor organizing.

Now, in 2026, it is impossible to not feel the continued crumbling of institutions around us. We are centering HAC 2026 on the theme of "Crisis, Collapse, and Connection". We are looking for workshops and discussions to investigate views of the crisis we are in, what we do when things collapse, and ways can we find each other on the path towards collective liberation. Have an idea for a workshop, panel, or discussion? Please submit a proposal here. We want to bring together those dedicated to the health and care of their respective communities in these times of deep transition.

Registration for the event will open on April 1 - sign up to our mailing list and watch our website and instagram for updates. If you are able to make a donation towards making the convergence a reality and providing travels stipends to folks who may not otherwise be able to come, please do so through our donation page.

We look forward to collaborating with you in June!
