This week, our Health Justice newsletter explores what can happen when the invisible becomes visible. First, self-driving cars have the potential to offer greater accessibility for people with disabilities. But so far their design and technology has largely ignored disabled bodies and needs. Next, safe injection sites where people can use drugs under medical supervision are a proven way to prevent overdose deaths. But the country’s first sanctioned overdose prevention centers are now under threat from federal law enforcement. Then, data can either obscure or reveal important information, depending on how it is used. Better approaches to health data can paint a fuller picture of people and improve community wellbeing. Finally, our new book, Building a Pro-Black World, is an essential guide to shift from simply critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to actively designing for pro-Blackness—and how doing so will benefit all of society.
