Public health evidence is clear: communities are safest & healthiest when we invest in the social determinants of health, not in carceral settings. Sign on to this public health advocacy letter in support of a prison & jail construction moratorium in MA: https://t.co/frbyVSTbYW
We hope you'll all show up for this policy statement in the same ways you showed up for ours over the last several years. Let @PublicHealth know that the occupation of Palestine & the genocide of Palestinians are urgent public health crises that cannot be ignored. #FreePalestine!
As co-chair of the Palestine Health Justice Working Group of @PublicHealth, we are disappointed to report that our Palestine health justice policy proposed for the 2024 annual meeting has just been voted down by the policy committee and will not be up for a vote next October.
Public health advocates label incarceration a crisis and push for prison abolition as the solution, urging for community healing over harm.

"The End Police Violence Collective... had to work hard behind the scenes to educate skeptics that abolition & public health are, in effect, two sides of the same coin."
