“The fence is bullshit” - @SharonRoerty @RWJF YES!!Thank you for saying it here at #ICUH22

[Sharon Roerty @SharonRoerty]

@MarcusxGrant @RWJF Equity means never having a fence #ICUH2022. Radical inclusion is the only way forward!

[ISUH @IS_UrbanHealth]

“Is a #city #healthy if human rights are ignored?” an excellent & powerful talk by @SharonRoerty from @RWJF today at #ICUH22 plenary on #equitable #cities highlighting that “to achieve #equity we have to be intentional” & the importance of equity drivers

@TheLancet climate resilience and health for whom?

[Isabelle Anguelovski @ianguelovski]

How can the @TheLancet report on health&climate include 0 mention of #justice & only 2 of #equity? It is urgent to include disciplines such as geography & planning + integrate researchers with an in-depth knowledge of health inequalities in the production of such reports @bcnuej

Loved @LouiseKielgast ’s project mixing applied research & lived experience to redesign bus stops for a better waiting experience & improved air quality! @citiesforpeople #ICUH22

I would not have the privileges I have today without my abortion at 16. Banning abortions strips our agency. The right to determine our futures & the chance to raise a child on our terms if we ever wish to. https://t.co/CRe0bPJnw5

Proud to be part of the @bcnuej team and to have the honor to learn about the impacts & identify solutions to green gentrification *alongside* community members & activists as partners! Thank you @NewsHour for this reporting 🙌

[Isabelle Anguelovski @ianguelovski]

Excellent reporting. Yes, we are only researchers, trying to share & amplify residents' fights -- in this case in a community close to our @bcnuej hearts (and @galiashok1's and my former home): #Boston. Grateful to @NewsHour for reporting on #EastBoston

@mattBernius @anotherketurah I've been directly asked by community to use "community members" for general reference (preferred over residents). Although depending on the structure of engagement, the community can self-identify, e.g. a neighborhood group requested to be recognized as "community activists."

[Andréanne Chu Breton-Carbonneau @abretocarbo]

The health sector is finally tackling climate! While a necessary push, I've grown up with empty promises on climate — we're ready to see true accountability! Is the voluntary pledge inadvertently distracting from opportunities that can help communities now?

[Andréanne Chu Breton-Carbonneau @abretocarbo]

Had a blast at day 1 of the #CfASummit. It’s so exciting to see the energy around equitable, accessible, human-centered governance in tech. So grateful to @codeforamerica for inviting @EquitableSpaces & I to speak about full integration of lived expertise in system co-design.

"If you’re asking people to bring their lived experience, it has to be valued, and it has to be seen as expertise.” - @AliciaMenendez on integrating lived experience into the civic tech space 👏🔥 @codeforamerica #cfasummit

[matt bernius @mattBernius]

Love that Amber Ivey from @govex_jhu call out that "codesign" is an ongoing process of powersharing and centering residents, not inviting one community member to advise a project. #cfasummit

"We need to remembered that lived experience is real data." - Andreanne Chu Breton-Carbonneau, Principal & Founder, ACBC Consulting @ #CfASummit

Yes! And if a stakeholder pushes back, then its up to us to help them understand that!

[Andréanne Chu Breton-Carbonneau @abretocarbo]

Thank you @mattBernius for sharing!

Thrilled to see @JalonneWNewsome as the new Director of Environmental Justice with her wealth of knowledge & leadership! Disappointed that coverage of her incoming is overshadowed by her predecessor's burnout. Instead, how can the White House prioritize this position's success?

[Andréanne Chu Breton-Carbonneau @abretocarbo]

Too often we leave race out of the climate conversation & ignore BIPOC most affected by its harms. Understanding the link btw race & climate is vital to creating equitable climate plans and climate resilience. Incredible listen, thank you @ayanaeliza https://t.co/l80n7vOVvQ
