How to Work with Local Leaders to Declare Racism a Public Health Crisis

Overview

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST | March 17, 2022

Decades of explicit and implicit racism in social, economic, and political systems have led to inequitable outcomes in communities of color with heavy burdens of toxic stress, disease, and premature death. In response, leaders across the country are adopting formal resolutions to declare racism a public health crisis and are committing to specific policy changes.

Attend this webinar, co-sponsored by the Network and Salud America!, to learn about resources and tools for engaging local advocates and leaders in drafting resolutions. Hear about efforts to get two Florida jurisdictions to declare racism a public health crisis and the multi-disciplinary group of partners and organizations working collectively to raise awareness and provide tools and resources to communities working to advance health and racial equity.
