Living with violence, poverty, exploitation, racial and gender discrimination and ongoing vulnerability takes a toll on health, shortens lives, and creates new mental and physical illnesses and disabilities.
Our work includes community dialogue and education, research and production of academic knowledge, training for advocates and providers in health, law, and social services, and direct organizing and advocacy for deeper social change.
Our community is made up of people who can imagine the right to health and well-being as a core value, inseparable from other forms of social justice work.
