Solidarity Statement Support for EqualHealth/CAR
Thank you for your demonstrated solidarity with EqualHealth and our global Campaign Against Racism (CAR). On March 17th 2021, the Boston Review published a powerful article by Dr. Michelle Morse and Dr. Bram Wispelwey calling for An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine and the need for federal reparations and institutional accountability in healthcare.
However the article has received an organized backlash from white supremacist networks with Dr. Michelle Morse being bombarded with racial slurs resulting in concerns for her safety. Some media outlets have also extracted random quotes from the article diverting attention from the important message to address racial inequity in health in the USA. We ask that you join us to build collective power in the face of these sustained attacks through endorsing the article and statement and sharing it with your networks and social media.
