HERE4Justice launched this blog series with the aim of underlining and sharing stories of the inequitable impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These inequitable impacts unfolded on top of the existing systemic and structural barriers to people's health and well-being, such as racism, poverty, and discrimination that we were already fighting against everyday. We invited submissions from the Simmons University MPH community and hope that our stories and reflections raise awareness start a conversation among the wider public health community on the need to eliminate inequity.
