This week, the Health Justice newsletter illuminates problem areas and what we can do to address them. First, from the Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine winter 2023 issue, attending to the deeply entrenched parts of ourselves to root out the ways oppressive systems live within us. Then, health insurance is notoriously difficult to afford and navigate. As it turns out, some insurers might also be breaking the law.

Finally, the conventional relationship between a nonprofit organization and its board is often fraught—sometimes downright dysfunctional. We’ll get into it at our upcoming webinar on new frameworks for boards, shifting their role from “power over” to “power with.”
