This month’s Health Justice newsletter underscores the impetus for radically transforming systems to support our collective wellbeing. First, we hear from two of NPQ’s newest editors that constitute the Health Justice desk. To start, Nineequa Blanding explores healing justice as a path for creating a world in which everyone can thrive. Next, Sonia Sarkar—in the fourth installment of the series “Reclaiming Control: The History and Future of Choice in Our Health”—shares how physician leaders are decolonizing healthcare and advancing social change. We then examine the critical role of philanthropy in the fight to abolish the cruel practice of solitary confinement. Finally, Sarkar brings attention to the ways ancient healing practices are appropriated and commodified.
