Health Equity and Social Justice 101 Training Series

The Politics of Health Inequity is a 1 hour presentation featuring Dr. Richard Hofrichter, the Senior Director of NACCHO’s Health Equity and Social Justice Program.

Learn core concepts related to health equity and social justice
Understand how structural racism and class oppression are implicated as root causes of health inequities
Learn the difference between treating the consequences of health inequity versus addressing the root causes of health inequity
Identify potential strategies for addressing the root causes of health inequity

This brave new world, when it happens, will be the great open society which is an egalitarian society where the worse fare better and the extraordinary is forever banned. So wonderful!

Really, do not think in 400 years to expect any changes. Every time things like this are brought to the forefront it is always a way for others to get more federal funding and then nothing ever changes. America has made money off the backs of these people since the 1800's and this is the 21st century and nothing has changed. Change the declaration of independence, the constitution and really make these races of people inclusive based on equity, equal rights truth and honesty. The laws to keep these people suppressed, depressed and oppressed will never happen, as this is how America was built on their backs and free labor and how they still make money off these races of people by charging higher interest rates for purchases of homes. cars, insurance auto and home, and higher excess taxes.
