Racism is a public health CRISIS - Please Help!

[OneGrassRoot]

Sharing three things on this topic all of which involve my friend, Leslie Gregory, who has been leading the charge to get the CDC to declare racism a public health crisis. Please read, sign, watch and share. Thanks!

First, this Rolling Stone article in which she is interviewed. Please read -- it's excellent.

When it comes to discussing racism and public health, words matter. Specifically, Gregory says that it’s important to refer to racism as a public health “crisis” instead of an “issue.” Not only is it more accurate, she says that racism also meets the four criteria the CDC requires in order for something to be considered a public health problem. That means that (1) it places a large burden on society that continues to increase, and (2) impacts certain parts of the population more than others. In addition to that, (3) there’s evidence that preventative strategies could help, but (4) this hasn’t happened yet.
