Objective B
Members are able to identify and explain to others the persisting impacts of racism and colonialism on the health of marginalized communities and understand that global health equity necessitates change in systems, structures, policies, practices, and attitudes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably.
Members should understand how...
Racism, slavery, and colonialism affect the lived experience of people of color and Indigenous people in the U.S. and globally. People participate, often unknowingly, in racism and benefit from colonialism.
Racism is systemic and is manifested through both individual attitudes and behaviors as well as through formal policies and practices throughout U.S. history, and globally through colonial history and foreign aid.
The world economic system has been designed over hundreds of years to enrich a small portion of humanity at the expense of the vast majority -- therefore there is a need for global and domestic reparations to redress systemic wealth disparities and achieve greater health equity.
Interventions in global health have roots in colonial medicine, and the legacy of those roots persists in assumptions, practices, and structures of many global health institutions and actors today.
Objective C
Members comprehend and are able to explain the framework, context, and reasoning behind our fundraising and advocacy campaigns.
Members should understand how...
Our congressional advocacy on the End TB Now Act and tuberculosis appropriations is the first step in a long-term campaign towards meaningful, radical change in the current global health landscape.
The tenets of the Paul Farmer Memorial Resolution propel us to combat global tuberculosis through the implementation of advocacy and fundraising.
Our fundraising initiatives to combat tuberculosis requires a comprehensive analysis of the historical systems that have given rise to the spread of tuberculosis in various regions and the challenges associated with treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Our justice-oriented fundraising and advocacy campaigns build upon one another in the sense that they are both driven by the need to address the impacts of conflict, colonialism, resource extraction, and exploitative global health policy that continues to negatively impact impoverished communities.
While we are advocating for monumental future shifts in global health policy, we must also address current health injustices through fundraising for strengthening health systems via supporting PIH’s existing tuberculosis programming.
