** Health Justice
------------------------------------------------------------
This week, our Health Justice newsletter delves into how seemingly small issues can become disastrous when systems fail to center our humanity. First, wheelchair repairs are notoriously slow and expensive—for wheelchair users, a simple flat tire can lead to injury, immobility, and long-term disruption. Next, we examine how nonprofit hospitals’ aggressive debt collection practices can cause routine medical procedures to balloon into unmanageable medical debt for their patients. Then, farmworkers are facing serious health risks from dust; the tiny particles have outsized effects as climate change worsens and migrant farmworkers are excluded from healthcare support. Finally, an upcoming NPQ panel on movement economies features preeminent voices from our summer magazine issue: Davarian Baldwin, A-dae Romero Briones, Johanna Bozuwa, and Maurice Mitchell. Join us on September 21st for this illuminating event!
