Public Health Liberation is a newly formed organization based in Washington, DC aiming to address the social determinants of health through systems thinking and liberation philosophy. Our trans-disciplinary work emphasizes collaboration across disciplines, cross-training, and tool development to enable community action on structural health inequity. We're recruiting academicians, community leaders, non-profits, and corporate representatives. You can also reach out to Public Health Liberation at info@publichealthliberation.com.
Thanks to the founding members, we have sufficient funds to incorporate and set up as an organization. That also means we can offer membership for free (this page only) for a limited time since we have met our start-up costs goals. Will you consider a donation? You can also use the regular membership form.
