To dismantle structural racism and advance health equity, methods aligning scientific evidence, community priorities, and political will are needed to implement equity-focused interventions. This study combined community-based participatory research and legal epidemiology methods to inform local policy in East Point, Georgia. The community informed a comprehensive policy approach to address social determinants of health (SDOH) and advance health equity and identified East Point’s Comprehensive Plan Update as an opportunity to advance health equity through policy. Key findings informed a legal epidemiology study to assess variation in including equity and health equity in comprehensive plans across 32 jurisdictions. Limited adoption of equity and health equity provisions were found, revealing opportunities to inform the East Point policymaking process. Research findings were summarized and disseminated t…

The Recurrence of Dehumanisation And Why It Matters in the UK Too In 1968, Black sanitation workers in Memphis walked through the streets carrying signs that read: I AM A MAN. The sentence was simple, almost painfully so.

When humanity has to be declared in 1968 and defended again today, we should pay attention.

Women tend to downplay their gender in workplaces with masculinity contest cultures A new study finds that workplaces prioritizing dominance and competition cause women to downplay their gender. This "self-group distancing" serves as a coping mechanism to maintain status in environments where the female identity is devalued.

Like #StructuralRacism, #StructuralSexism is a thing.

Systemic racism doesn’t require intent. Closing #PMPediatrics Atlantic Ave left Brooklyn with one site in Bensonhurst, pushing pediatric urgent care out of reach for many Black and brown families. #StructuralRacism #AccessToCare

Folks teaching classes with overlay of racial formation — just found this video (h/t Erin P.). Had never heard of #Melungeon history in #Appalachia. Great, accessible example of #structuralracism, #dispossession, #passing. In case it’s helpful. 16 minutes.

The Constitution didn’t just “allow” racism — it structured it. 3/5 compromise, slave trade protected, fugitive slave clause, then the 13th’s prison loophole. This isn’t a glitch; it’s the operating system. #USHistory #StructuralRacism

Tulsa, OK 1921 (Black Wall Street): first U.S. aerial attack on civilians. Later example: Philadelphia 1985 (MOVE).

Wilmington, NC 1898: only successful coup d’état on U.S. soil.

All three were state-backed assaults on Black freedom—white envy in policy form. #StructuralRacism #KeepYourReceipts

Facts. It’s baked in: Constitution (Fugitive Slave + 3/5 clauses), 1790 whites-only naturalization, Jim Crow, FHA redlining, GI Bill exclusions, and state-backed pogroms (Tulsa 1920, Wilmington 1893). Even when we built, the state burned. #StructuralRacism #KeepYourReceipts

Singing Jerusalem is Englishness Dan! (A clue in the lyrics)
I agree that we’ve achieved much; but there remains much to improve too.
One only has to look at ethnic data on, eg, school exclusions, involvement in the CJS, stop & search stats, to see there’s no room for complacency
