Lack of access to basic healthcare resources is wreaking havoc on our minority communities. That’s why Rep. Shontel Brown, along with Rep. Hank Johnson and Rep. Ritchie Torres, led a group of 23 members of Congress urging the Biden Administration to strengthen Monkeypox testing and vaccination efforts in our most vulnerable communities.
With diseases like Monkeypox and COVID-19 disproportionately affecting minority communities, Shontel called on the National Monkeypox Response Coordinator to strengthen Monkeypox testing and vaccination efforts targeting low-income and LGBTQ+ community members.
It’s past time that we work to address deeply rooted inequities in our healthcare system. Ensuring fair distribution of resources is not only crucial to fixing historical disadvantages but the key to getting ahead of this critical health emergency.
We cannot leave any at-risk community behind. Leaders like Representatives Shontel Brown, Hank Johnson, and Ritchie Torres have their ears to the ground, ready to fight for our most vulnerable communities.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
