** Health Justice
------------------------------------------------------------
In this week’s Health Justice newsletter, we receive dispatches from the field, where researchers and practitioners are exploring new ways of envisioning care, leadership, and the structure of the system itself. First, as the March of Dimes prepares to release its annual report on the state of maternal care in this country, NPQ talks with senior vice president Dr. Elizabeth Cherot on the growing problem of maternity care deserts and innovative ways to bring care to families who need it most. Next, a team of equity leaders report back on their work addressing health disparities by reimagining leadership in healthcare systems. Then, we hear how a small but growing number of worker co-ops are offering pathways for building a healthier and more democratic healthcare sector—for all of us. And if you liked that story, you can read about worker co-ops (and more!) in the summer issue of Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine ([link removed]) on movement
economies—out now!

Worker Co-Ops in Health Care: Lessons from the Field ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

“As a society, we underpay—and under care for—the very workers we rely on to provide health and care services to others….Is it possible to organize private healthcare businesses in ways that don’t extract profits and instead share ownership and control with workers by design? It is.” Read more… ([link removed])

The Summer 2023 Issue of Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

How do people not only develop a vision of a democratic economy rooted in values of solidarity but come together to make that vision a collective reality? That is the daring question contained in this issue of the magazine. Building on last summer’s issue on ownership, NPQ economic justice editors Steve Dubb and Rithika Ramamurthy call on us to consider what they label movement economies.
