Public Health and Historical Perspectives on the June 29th Poor People’s Campaign
The Poor People’s Campaign recently held its Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on June 29th in Washington D.C. Led by Rev. Dr. William Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, the event featured speakers from affected populations, religious, labor, activist, and lay groups. They shared personal and community challenges caused by stark economic, political, and social inequality in the US. This article briefly contextualizes the Poor People’s Campaign from two major perspectives – public health theory and practice and historical. It argues that failure of the political establishment to respond to calls for social reform is likely to carry unacceptable costs – the threat of deepening inequality and civil unrest, even war.
Moral and Religious Reasoning in Political Engagement: Learning from Faith Leaders
Public Health Liberation seeks to centrally situate philosophy in public health discourse on accelerating equity. Philosophy is broadly defined as a worldview based on moral, cultural, and religious teachings and standards by which to make sound judgments and to engage in critical analysis. PHL encourages a clear articulation of relevant values as part of a general strategy to accelerate health equity and encourage order in the Public Health Economy. Ethical and religious beliefs benefit public health discourse.
