Facing (In)Justice In Health

Facing (In)Justice In Health is a collection of sixteen first-person stories from Baltimore, Maryland, that weave together a tapestry of ideas exploring themes of health and justice, including: breaking cycles, surviving to thriving, building trust within communities, and being an agent of change.

The narratives highlight the everyday impacts of injustice in health-touching on barriers to care in Black, Brown, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities; challenges with mental health and housing; and the influence of identity, community, and culture on wellbeing. Stories also reflect on resilience, advocacy, and the power of voice in confronting inequity.

Facing (In)Justice In Health includes a detailed discussion guide and resources to increase empathy, awareness, and conversations on health and justice that are applicable for any community.
