Recent events of high profile cases of unarmed black men and women dying at the hands of police has reopened wounds of historical traumas experienced by many black communities. This frequent and ongoing occurrence highlights the need to move beyond selective outrage to create more sustained action. With this in mind, Public Health Insight is committed to collaborating with other organizations and individuals to tackle systemic challenges that impact public health and global health. In this episode (part 1 of 2), three guests join the Public Health Insight to discuss some key findings of a collaborative report titled “The Urgent Need for a Systems-Thinking Approach to Address Anti-Black Racism in Ontario: A Call to Action for Decision Makers and Policy Makers’.
