When social movements join forces, we can be unstoppable. Join me this Wednesday for a talk hosted by @networkforphl where I’ll be reflecting on what the #publichealth field can learn from the #climatejustice movement and how we can be better partners.

Necessities like healthcare & housing aren't just commodities- they're public goods promoting #healthequity & shared prosperity. Can #antiracist policy & enforcement also be public goods? Check out my blog w Prof Harris for @deBeaumontFndtn @PublicHealth: tinyurl.com/yyaoafue

Appreciated being in such smart and mission-aligned company at #PHLS2020. Onward to Day 2 for more on the intersection of law and health equity.

Thanks for everyone's thoughtful engagement with the civil rights of health at #PHLS2020 - looking forward to the rest of the sessions!
Disasters are moments when there can be real movement in terms of expanding the definition of what is a public good...anti-racist policy is a public good to safeguard public health and shared prosperity. Paraphrasing @ayshbot #healthequity
