Sister Cities Project wants you to see this post from Leah Rothstein who has written extensively about segregation, one of the intentional discriminatory policies that resulted in continued segregation and divestment in black and brown communities. As we begin the count down to our Unite for Health Equity Event on Saturday, 6/27/24, this is a reminder that health disparities were and are intentional also. Health inequities did not happen by accident. There is history. This is a pattern we must understand and seek to dismantle by taking action together.

To solve problems around Health Equity, we must seek to understand the lived-experience of people most impacted by the disparities.
