Our monthly Health Justice newsletter celebrates the arrival of our new magazine issue by inviting readers into some of the plentiful, transformative realms of health justice that unfold throughout its pages. First, Cyndi Suarez introduces the issue by situating its themes within NPQ’s visions for the future of this deeply intersectional field. Our initial feature dives into the worlds—historical, scientific, spiritual—of psychedelic and plant medicines as therapeutic keys to transcending dominant social paradigms: patriarchy, capitalism, supremacist ideologies. We then take a close look at how scaling the US healthcare system—currently a source of private profit for the few and financial ruin for the many—into a public service would render it available, accessible, and abundant for all. Finally, we envision a better future by learning from Black LGBTQ+/SGL communities about the manifold dimensions of thriving.
Hardship is not the only story. Scarcity is not the only solution.
