When people say they want to "use" community health workers...that's usually exactly what they mean.

Community health worker, & all carers, are *people,* not infrastructure. @joshnesbit beautifully articulates the implications of this profound fact👇

Why it is time to move beyond "care as infrastructure" and organize around care as the point. https://t.co/ZQ0fQPeuir

In New Jersey this week, working alongside doulas providing birth, postpartum, and loss support. These caregivers and community leaders show us what a new social order could look like, and we can do so much more to support them.

Thinking about the prevalence of moral dilemma dumping and the moral injury that follows. We ask people with the least economic power – and the most at stake – to figure out how to do what’s right in an unjust overall structure.

Let's redirect all the subsidies in public-private "partnerships" towards infrastructure for public-social partnerships.
