🚨 New paper in Public Health Reports! 🚨
My colleagues and I argue that #PublicHealth needs to make structural changes to incorporate #massincarceration into curricula & institutions, as well as prioritize employment for those with lived experience.

If you had told me 15 years ago that I would grow up to be an IV-using, heroin-addicted shell of a person, I would have never believed you. I grew up in a devoutly religious family. We were homeschooled, raised… https://t.co/d5lk6PCpNR

The $7.25 minimum wage is a starvation wage. Raise it.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! @marotta_phil @LouisaGilbert10 @Dr_GoddEckrich @BasselNabila Healthcare disparities faced by our low-income community members for accessing naloxone, the overdose reversal antidote.

Scientific rigour and activism are *not* mutually-exclusive. In fact, we need to recognise and invest in more activist-academics, especially in substance use and #HIV research.

The era of the academic who speaks down from their ivory tower couldn’t end faster.

“When you see something that is not right. Not fair. Not just. .

Do something. Get in trouble. Good trouble.” —John Lewis

The opposite of engaging in #goodtrouble is doing nothing out of fear we’ll get into trouble. We must amass our courage and overcome fear like John Lewis.

—Spending on policing in the US has almost tripled, from $42.3B in 1977 to $115B in 2017.

—We now spend $1078B more on police than on public housing.

—15 states spend $27,000 more per person in prison than they do per student.

It's time to invest in communities, not policing.

“In 1978, only 542 Black men across the nation graduated from medical school. In 2014 it was even less—515.”

Shameful.

We must do better.
