Meet Kshama Sawant: India's Daughter Who Brought the Fight Against Casteism to Seattle's Political Arena

"The main opposition to the banning of caste-based discrimination is from right-wing organizations, namely, the Hindu American Foundation and the Coalition of Hindus of North America. The agenda of both these extremely right-wing organizations is aligned with the reactionary regime currently in power in India, of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Modi regime has found a lot of common ground with the Trump agenda and the American right wing."

Wish the rest of the world can see things as clearly as Richard Gere does regarding the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP). #Chna

@schock I would LOVE to see more #HealthEquity researchers publish about the impact #DesignJustice plays on the #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth

This would make an incredible series of #HealthImpactAssessments and even be a useful tool to rethink how #CommunityHealthNeedsAssessments are conducted

I know #PublicHealth #policy is primarily focused on the ways #PublicPolicy shapes health outcomes but #upstream design and scoping practices often shape many of the disparate impacts we see in the communities that experience inequities. We can't fundamentally change the way our institutions operate unless we interrogate and restructure the design and decision-making processes to adopt more of a #DesignJustice and #ResearchJustice lens
