On The Edge

In this episode, we explore how America is to build a new social contract for equitable health. COVID19 has shone a light on health inequities in the country, largely driven by environmental and systemic racism. 

Stephen Horn is joined by Dr. Georges Benjamin, The executive director of the American Public Health Association. Dr. Benjamin has been working to address the root causes of health inequities long before COVID19.

Stephen also talks to Lili Farhang, The Co-Director of Human Impact Partners, an organization created to transform the field of public health with a mission to center equity and build collective power with social justice movements. 

In this episode, we focus on healing America's communities and explore why the US has lost faith in its institutions. We also examine the systemic challenges facing America and ask what needs to be done to truly 'build back better’ and rebuild that trust.

Stephen Horn is joined by Hollie Russon Gilman, a policy expert at New America – a think tank that aims to confront the challenges caused by rapid social and technological change, a Huo Foundation fellow at Columbia World Projects and recent co-author of Civic Power: Rebuilding American Democracy in an Era of Crisis. 

Also in this episode, Stephen is joined by Garth Dallas, a Jamaican-born entrepreneur, and Lawyer who advises companies on both sides of the Atlantic for sustainability.
