Our first demand lies in #internal #accountability: greater transparency in EDI work planned and achieved, recurring and accountable anti-racism training + commitments among Faculty/staff/student advocacy groups, and processes and infrastructure to support Black health.

The danger of an uncritical, oppressive public health institution is the reproduction of uncritical, oppressive thinkers & practitioners in public health. Interrupt the cycle of harm to Black communities. Sign our petition: forms.gle/XTzoqxcqkAQEUd…

Black Lives still Matter even if the topic is not trending.

The fight resisting institutional anti-Black racism for #health and #RacialJustice at DLSPH demands #curriculumdevelopment. The current mandatory coursework expected of DLSPH students fails to analyze #raceandhealth critically and demotes the importance of race. We demand change!

#Healthequity for #Blacklives within, & beyond the U of T Public Health cannot be embraced without justice & liberation. Public health institutions have a responsibility to devolve power, demonstrate allyship, & centre communities in how they operate every day. #accountabilitynow

We are disappointed to see delayed recognition of appeals to meaningfully support the #mentalhealth of Black students. We have been grieving, we are grieving, but we are also resisting. This cannot, & should not be an isolated initiative. #Blackhealthmatters always.

In efforts to address anti-Black racism at DLSPH, we NEED #internalaccountability from faculty, staff, and student groups alike. Sign our petition now to address the long-standing neglect and dismissal of Black students' needs. forms.gle/XTzoqxcqkAQEUd…

Dean Adalsteinn (Steini) Brown, we are counting on you to use your power and privilege for meaningful systemic change. You have a responsibility to transform the status quo and create nurturing spaces for Black, Indigenous, and racialized students.
