On Thursday, October 6 at 2:00-3:30 pm CST, join PEAK MN for a virtual session about philanthropy and its role in racial and health equity! In this session, learn how philanthropy can play a stronger role to reverse longstanding, destructive trends and improve the lives and systems that make up our democracy.
Philanthropy has a critical role to play in redressing the structural racism and oppression at the root of health inequities in our nation. By prioritizing cross-cultural, cross-sector, and interdisciplinary alliances, philanthropy can strengthen racial and intersectional equity in governance and policy making.
Health equity is defined by a very broad spectrum of social determinants of health:
- Racism, discrimination, and violence
- Safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods
- Education, job opportunities, and income
- Access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities
- Polluted air and water
- Language and literacy skills
Our speaker is Vayong Moua, MPA, Director of Racial and Health Equity Advocacy at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
