Just published in @amjpublichealth.bsky.social: a collective analysis of the power ecosystem that jeopardizes public health and produces inequity, titled “Why Building Power is Key to Protecting Academic Public Health and Advancing Health Equity”

We are angered and disheartened by the lack of progress our fields have made over the last 20 years and dismayed by the dismantling of health equity efforts happening in real time. In response, we are determined to reimagine academic public health and drive social change. We believe public health scholars need to share and build power with communities facing inequities now more than ever.

I've spent the past several years covering two federal civil rights complaints in Chicago. Both affect vulnerable people and communities. Yesterday, Trump upended both of them, saying they aren't "real concerns." chicago.suntimes.com/environment/...

Trump dismisses civil rights, fair housing cases in Chicago to focus on ‘real concerns’

HUD will stop monitoring a civil rights agreement over the General Iron matter and dropped a case alleging City Council members blocked affordable housing using "aldermanic prerogative" veto power.
