Summary

This report outlines our year’s work of strengthening relationships, deepening our fight against structural racism and power imbalances, and forging a social contract grounded in equity and healing. Why bother with this kind of last-year inventory? Looking back at our work allows us to sense patterns about our organization, the field, and our movements, so that we can foresee the big opportunities and threats that are coming.

‍

Reflecting on the past year, one thing is clear: Our fate as a public health movement is linked to that of so many other movements for equity and justice. We must learn how to be in the struggle together. The field of public health cannot and should not fight for the public’s health alone. To achieve the big structural change needed for health equity and racial justice, we need a deeper bench, a broad, multi-sectoral movement with a long-term vision and strategy, an ecosystem of actors moving in strategic alignment together.
