Promoting Equitable Food Access
Wednesday, June 5, 2019, 1:30–3 p.m.
Presenters: Glennon Sweeny & Kierra Barnett, The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
Children need healthy foods to thrive in school and live long, healthy lives. Food workers need a living wage to afford the very foods they process and serve. Join us for a discussion on how social justice efforts can help fix a broken system and move towards a sustainable, equitable and just food system.
2019 Training Series: Social Justice & Public Health
Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities — this includes the right to good health. Yet today, there are inequities in health that are avoidable, unnecessary and unjust. These inequities are principally the result of policies and practices that create an unequal distribution of money, power and resources among communities based on race, class, gender, place and other factors. Join us for this FREE training series to discuss the role of social justice in achieving health equity. Registration is required.
