SUMMARY:HEALTH IS POLITICAL
DESCRIPTION:Join Writers Against the War on Gaza and Medical Students for Justice for Palestine for “HEALTH IS POLITICAL\,” a teach-in taking place on Saturday\, March 1 from 12:30-3:00pm at The People’s Forum in NYC. \nThough health is often conceived of as a scientific\, insulated field\, it is inextricably political. From the air quality of our cities to the safety of our neighborhoods to the medical care we can access\, our health is bound together\, both locally and globally. \nYet the American Medical Association\, widely recognized as the foremost medical lobbying group in the nation\, has refused to take a stance against the Israeli occupation of Palestine\, claiming “geopolitics” is “beyond [their] purview.” \nWe will unpack what the Palestine exception exposes about the broader relationship between American medicine and U.S. imperialism. We will study the Young Lords’ Lincoln Hospital Takeover\, as a concrete example of healthcare workers and community members working together to defend health as a human right. Finally\, we’ll collaboratively envision what the future of global health looks like\, planning for the role of health and healthcare in the struggle for liberation. \nThis event is free with registration. Everyone is welcome regardless of their background in health. The People’s Forum is wheelchair accessible. Masks are strongly encouraged and will be provided. Free copies of the New York War Crimes’ latest healthcare edition will be available. \n \n Buy Tickets on Eventbrite  Buy Tickets
