Health Care Access & Coverage | Health Equity
Voting, Structural Racism, and Health Inequities
Virtual Conversation with Nicole Austin-Hillery, JD, Daniel E. Dawes, JD, and Javier Rodríguez, PhD, moderated by Atheendar Venkataramani, MD, PhD
The 2020 election brought the connection between voting and health to the forefront. Despite a constitutional right to vote, voter suppression and voter disempowerment cultivate an electorate and government that is less inclusive and less representative, which exacerbates inequities in political power and in health and well-being. Our experts discussed the connections between voting access, voter suppression, and policy, and how voting can affect efforts to address racism and eliminate health inequities.
Co-hosted with Bold Solutions, a University of Pennsylvania initiative aimed at addressing the effects of interpersonal, structural, and institutional racism on health; and co-sponsored by Opportunity for Health Lab.
