For more than a decade, Erick has been an integral part of the grassroots movement that has made Mexico a global leader in fighting tobacco use. Working with Salud Justa, Tobacco-Free Kids partners CODICE, Refleacciona, and La Coalición México Salud-Hable, and a coalition of other organizations, Erick’s leadership led to passage of Mexico’s historic and comprehensive 2022 law that made all indoor public spaces smoke-free nationwide and banned all tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.
These reforms would not have been possible without Erick's tenacity and his commitment to collaborating with partners. Now, thanks to their efforts, millions of Mexicans are protected from deadly secondhand smoke and Big Tobacco’s deceptive marketing.
On May 18, join us in honoring Erick – as well as outstanding young leaders and public health champions from the United States and around the world.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
Sincerely,
