A Message from Our CEO

Health Leads' commitment to Black lives, and to racial and health equity, is as strong as it ever has been. We are outraged at the senseless killings of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Taylor, Riah Milton, Dominique Fells and the countless other stolen or abused Black lives over many generations ([link removed]) . We will continue to be outraged until there is evidence at all levels of government and across a range of urgent issues - from health to environment to education to criminal justice - that Black Lives Matter. For many of you who know our work, or have read our mission and vision ([link removed]) , this outrage may seem obvious. But what is less obvious is the tension that exists in fighting for that systemic change.

The rest of this letter ([link removed]) is focused on that tension from my perspective as CEO of Health Leads and as a person. I know this tension is not unique to the health and/or non-profit sectors, but widely felt across education, academia, for-profits and others working to both change systemic inequities, while also knowingly and unknowingly perpetuating them.
