We all have dreams for ourselves and our families, but we don’t all have the same opportunities to make those dreams come true. The convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the racial reckoning of 2020 made that clear.
For too long, powerful people who make laws and policies have also reinforced inequitable social practices based on race and class. But people intentionally built our current laws and social practices, and together, we can reinvent them.
To work towards that vision, we’ve established three ambitious goals we believe we can achieve in our lifetime.
* Economic Inclusion for Family Wellbeing: We believe a nation is possible where families have affordable, quality childcare, and where no one must choose between paying for meals or paying their bills.
* Equitable and Accountable Public Health and Healthcare Systems: We deserve a healthcare system that provides respectful, high-quality care for everyone and a Public Health system that works together with communities to dismantle structural racism as a root cause of health disparities in America.
* Healthy and Equitable Community Conditions: We envision flourishing communities where everyone has access to clean, safe drinking water and safe, stable housing; where jobs pay a living wage; where we have torn down the walls of segregation, and all residents are seen as deserving of respect and dignity.
This video explains our approaches further, and you’ll hear more in the weeks and months to come about our collective long-term vision for creating a nation where health is not a privilege for some, but a right for all.
