Their worldview recognizes that being healthy means ensuring the natural resources that give us life are well cared for.

Overusing,…October 2021Interventions, Historical Trauma, Systemic Determinants, Environmental Injustice
- The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the gaps in our public health and health data infrastructure and illuminated the many ways in which they perpetuate vast health inequities.

- Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the calls for racial justice that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, local place-based organizations have focused more on better building equity at the local level and on how data can both hinder and build racial equity. To better understand the role of backbone organizations and data intermediaries (two types of place-based organizations…October 2021Policy and Practice
- Storytelling is the best tool we have for effectively communicating about big, systemic issues like racism, classism, and transphobia. People think in stories.
