Racism is a Public Health Crisis

This year, our Stand Against Racism Campaign centers around the theme of Addressing Racism as a Public Health Crisis.

Public health is, and always has been, central to racial justice work. This year our theme is especially pertinent as our nation continues to face the intersecting public health crises of COVID-19 and racism.

Join us from April 22 – 25, 2021, as we hold virtual events, share information, advocate, and more with a common goal in mind. Understanding the economic and social determinants of health and how racism impacts public health outcomes. We see this critical work as necessary to uprooting systemic inequity in communities of color.

Thursday, April 22: Join us in a virtual town hall as we discuss the connections between racism and public health outcomes, how to implement public health practices to effectively identify and address racial injustice in our communities, and community engagement and public policy strategies to advance racial equity through a public health lens.

Register today for a powerful event uplifting the voices of public health professionals, advocates, and trailblazers doing the work to improve the future for people of color!
