Made the case that health equity depends on racial justice.

Prevention Institute urged public health and health equity practitioners to take on the unjust and unfair health outcomes that are connected to racism, discrimination, and other forms of racial injustice. Building Bridges: The Strategic Imperative for Advancing Health Equity and Racial Justice identifies five strategic opportunities for collaboration among health equity and racial justice advocates. Our short video, If you want to talk health, you have to talk racial justice, explains why we can’t achieve health as a nation without taking on structural racism.
