In 2018, the American Public Health Association (APHA) declared law enforcement violence disproportionately affecting people of color and marginalized communities a public health issue. In 2020, following the killing of George Floyd and continued police violence during protests, APHA declared racism as a public health crisis. In this episode, Nimo and Jasmine consider the pros and cons of how states, cities, and counties responded to this declaration and the current state of public health amongst Black and Latinx people and lower-income neighborhoods. Press play to hear:
- An analysis of adopted resolutions and declarations of racism as a public health issue. There are over 50 from jurisdictions across the country!
- The leading causes of death in the United States by race.
- A breakdown of how road design, access to green spaces and groceries, pollution, and environmental racism can impact health outcomes.
Thank you for listening and tune in every-other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.
