Declare That Health Is a Human Right. Take the Pledge To Protect the Freedom To Breathe.
I pledge to uphold the belief that health is a fundamental human right, essential for every individual's dignity, well-being, and empowerment.
I commit to:
Advocating for equitable access to quality healthcare for all, regardless of race, gender, income, geography, or other identity or circumstance.
Working to dismantle the systemic barriers and inequities that perpetuate health disparities in marginalized and underserved communities.
Supporting policies, practices, and initiatives that promote environmental justice, clean air and water, mental health care, reproductive rights, and community wellness.
Advocating for the right to breathe clean air, free from toxins and pollutants, is a basic necessity for health and life.
Advocate for the right to access clean, safe water and recognize it as essential for health, well-being, and dignity.
Centering the voices and lived experiences of those most impacted by health inequities in decision-making and solutions.
Recognizing that health is deeply interconnected with economic justice, racial justice, and environmental sustainability, and striving for holistic approaches that address these intersections.
Promoting trauma-informed, healing-centered practices that prioritize individuals' and communities' mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Standing in solidarity with communities advocating for their right to live healthy, thriving lives free from harm and oppression.
Together, we will create a world where health is no longer a privilege for the few but an undeniable, unassailable right for all—ensuring justice, equity, and dignity for future generations.
