PI Perspectives
Our take on important issues affecting the prevention community.
As we begin 2022, it’s clear that the inequitable impacts of climate change, the pandemic, and racial injustice share common roots: existing systems that accept as a cost of doing business the oppression, exploitation, and degradation of BIPOC communities to enrich the few. They also share a structural solution: adopting a community health-based economy. Our vision is that we can replace a carbon-based economy with an economy that is sustainable for people, communities, and the planet.
Health justice is not just a cause or an idea, but the way forward for public health agencies and communities alike. This blog was originally published in Bill of Health.
