Building Revolutionary Alternatives to Capitalist Healthcare - Part 2

In the U.S, capitalism prioritizes profit over people, turning public health and healthcare into a commodity rather than a right. This results in the underfunding of hospitals and clinics in predominantly Black neighborhoods, inadequate access to medical care due to racialized economic inequalities, disproportionate exposure to food deserts and environmental health hazards such as air pollution and contaminated water, and systematic medical neglect in prisons. While we are led to believe things can be no other way, the parasites who profit from this status quo do not want us to know that there are alternative, revolutionary models that actually exist. Models that practice prioritizing healthcare as a human right.

Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for an interactive Assata Shakur Study Group session, where we will dissect the contradiction of the US healthcare system, unpack lessons from the Cuban approach to health, and discuss what African (Black) working class communities must do to win community control over health.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
