When we talk about ending state-sanctioned violence, people tend to only think about police brutality. In reality, it refers to all forms of harm produced, promoted, and/or institutionalized by the state to the detriment of Black people, our families, and communities. This includes ending the health neglect of Black people.

Medicare for All is an important step toward creating a more equitable and fair system -- so that whether you live in the suburbs in Maryland, or in East Elmhurst, Queens, a predominantly Black neighborhood in New York City, or in a rural, small town in Alabama, you will be guaranteed quality, affordable health care.

If you believe that healthcare is a human right, sign the petition to Congress demanding that they make passing Medicare for All a top priority for 2024.
