#RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis. ASPPH stands with those fighting to eradicate systemic racism and injustices. We cannot have a healthy world without a just world. As a public health community, we must stand together to end racism. #ASPPHAdvocates #ThisIsPublicHealth

This right here👇🏽 is the underlying implicit bias/covert racism that was in the question. The implication was that Black people are less hygenic/clean which clearly isn’t the truth. This is why we need to declare #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis

Racism is a public health issue. It is a global pandemic. It is a disease, infection, mental illness, virus, parasite, and plague. #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis

The young people will lead this movement! #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis #wellnessisresistance

As we work to dismantle the systems that have created so much injustice, we cannot forget the food system. Food deserts and food swamps with limited to no access to healthy food must be eliminated. #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis

As we work to dismantle the systems that have created so much injustice, we cannot forget the food system. Food deserts, with limited to no access to healthy food, are the result of racist policies and practices. #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis #HealthDisparities

How can you help dismantle social injustice? Join Dr. Naa-Solo Tettey of HeartSmarts, Rashad Robinson of ColorOfChange, and Stephanie Young of When We All Vote Thurs. for a conversation about the history of racism and its effect on the systems that impact our lives: meetu.ps/3lgDBW

One of the most detrimental oppressive forces in the Black community is poor diet. Food based illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension impact the Black community at higher rates. This is not by accident. #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis #healthdisparities

Racist policies & practices have created communities where healthy foods are not readily available. Improving access to healthy foods, increasing education about proper nutrition, & empowering communities to grow their own food must be a priority. #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis

If you cope w/ stress by smoking, drinking and overeating you're at an increased risk cardiovascular disease. #HealthyHeartTalk x.com/nyphospital/st…

A6:High blood pressure can cause arteries serving the heart to become narrowed from a buildup of a substance called plaque. When an artery is blocked & the flow of blood through the heart muscle is interrupted, the damage that occurs is called a #heartattack. #HealthyHeartTalk x.com/ACCinTouch/sta…
