From Health Affairs

Dear John,

Heads up, we have an exciting event on the horizon with our friends at
Penn LDI. On October 6, a virtual seminar on Health Equity and the Role
of Racism-Conscious Policymaking

will be offered in connection with our October issue on racism and
health.

Racism, Power, and Health Equity

Political power is a determinant of health equity, and imbalances in
this power shape conditions that influence health and well-being, like
housing conditions.

In her article in the October 2023 Structural Racism In Health issue,
Jamila Michener documents a series of interviews with tenant organizers
in racially and economically marginalized communities.

She analyzes the results of seventy-nine semi structured interviews with
tenants, and finds that tenant organizers exercised their political
power through direct action and local policy change
.

Direct action, in the form of protests, rallies, and rent strikes put
direct pressure on entities like landlords and government officials to
improve living conditions.

Local policy change was driven through "strategic institutional
negotiation" and an active campaign.

Michener concludes that organizers can contribute to achieving health
equity, and that health equity researchers should highlight the
political agency of race-class marginalized populations.

For more on this paper, listen to an episode of A Health Podyssey

featuring author Jamila Michener and Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan
Weil.

Structural Racism In Health.

Diaz, and Dr. Siobhan Wescott, to discuss ideas from the October 2023
journal issue on systemic racism and health care.

Topics include immigration, AI, and the interplay between policy and
lived experience in health.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're highlighting influential Hispanic
and Latino voices and organizations who have made an impact on health
equity and policy.

In 2000, a Steering Committee of the National Congress for Hispanic
Mental Health formed the National Latino Behavioral Health Association
(NLBHA) to serve as a voice for Latino
populations in behavioral health, and to raise awareness of the
disparities in access, utilization, practiced-based research, and
adequately trained personnel.

As part of its mission, NLBHA provides scholarships in collaboration
with the Institute of Mexicans Living Abroad (IMLA)/Instituto de los
Mexicanos en el Exterior (IME) to Mexican students pursuing a college
degree in behavioral health.
