As planning for the National Press Foundation "Covering Equitable Community Development" journalism training continues, this post from RWJF illustrates how and why #healthequity is so critical for communities. We'll be exploring barriers to #equity in #health, #childcare, #economicinvestment and much more block progress for many Americans. If you're a U. S.-based #localjournalist who covers any of those issues, there's still time to apply for this next #NPF journalism fellowship program, scheduled for October 7-10 in Missoula, Montana.

We all have dreams for ourselves and our families. But we don’t all have the same opportunities to make those dreams come true. The bridge to health is built differently for some people, often based on race and class. On that bridge, you can find barriers built in front of some of us that limit prosperity and threaten peoples’ ability for a fair and just opportunity for health and wellbeing. Since people built those bridges, together we can replace them with a new bridge that carries everyone toward health. Communities across the country can unite to create a better future for everyone’s children and grandchildren. 🎥 Watch an explainer video and download a messaging guide developed to inspire broader understanding and action to dismantle structural racism in health. https://rwjf.ws/3TVBDGv
