I am excited for the process of building with folks in this project and the strength that will unfold for Black communities in all the ways we exist and show up
We are excited to announce that we have been selected to lead a groundbreaking project funded by @RWJF. This work puts the needs, ideas, and voices of the community at the forefront to address deep-rooted structural racism within the healthcare industry

The space curated by @HealthConnectOne staff for the #BirthandBeyondSummit was truly appreciated. The freedom to just be was felt from the moment I walked up to the reg desk. It was a conference like no other. I can't wait for 2025.

Appreciate @dnbrgr for reminding us during the @MIC_Center conference that "Incarceration is incompatible with public health" and that "abolition is a movement for health justice."

Last weekend we stood with @saveuctownhomes residents as they kicked off their summer organizing campaign. What is happening to them is inhumane and they are refusing to stay silent. Read our open statement in support of their demands bit.ly/ubuntu-stpth #HousingIsAHumanRight
ALT Text that reads The Looming Dispossession of UC Townhome Residents is a Threat to Health and a Violation of Human Rights Rooted in a Legacy of Structural Racism. Text follows that is a statement from the Ubuntu Center.
