Racism, housing segregation, and inequality contribute to health outcomes that drive health disparities across the life course. Community organizers at the Redress Movement and in a wide variety of community organizations across the country are having frank and difficult discussions about systemic racism and its health implications with residents as well as discussions about what can be done to redress these issues directly.

The conversations and approaches to redress are different in every community but we’re learning from innovative community-led models about what works to engage people in efforts to redress the historical roots of racism and housing segregation, with one of the goals to improve community health outcomes. One way these efforts are leading the way is by creating a shared value for good health where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of who they are and where they live.

In this webinar, we’ll talk with leaders who can share their perspectives on what this work looks like on the ground in communities across the country, as well as how we can amplify and measure the impacts about what’s working.
