About Rx: Advocacy
From the publisher's feed
A family doctor and a community activist tackle the intersections between public health and necessary activism.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made many gross inequalities, globally, more apparent. Many of us became advocates by default, feeling we really had no other choice. Nili and Ariel interview women across Canada who work double or triple shifts as professionals, parents and activists, shining a light on the issues that keep us up at night. From the streets, to the waiting room, to the classroom, advocacy is often the only prescription for change.
