This webinar will be an intergenerational conversation between Dr. Patricia Rodney, Dr. Sandy Placido, and Devyn Springer about the interconnections of Public Health as a People(s)-Centered Human Right and Black liberation.

The speakers will discuss a range of issues, including how public health has been centered in struggles throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora as a fundamental aspect of self-determination; how the denial of healthcare and medical services to racialized, working, and poor people has been a cornerstone of imperialism and (neo-)colonialism; contemporary public health crises and forms of grassroots organizing to combat them; and the ways that movements, organizations, and activists have employed community health practices as a tool of emancipation.

This discussion is both timely and important in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine apartheid, the attack on women's reproductive rights its racialized and classed effects, and increased spending on war and militarism to the detriment of the health and wellbeing of the majority.
