Anti Racist Community Engagement Principles

The School of Public Health’s Collaboratory for Health Justice has developed the following principles in an effort to institutionalize best practices around community engaged work. In order to align our principles with the goal to achieve health equity, we must be explicit about our commitment to dismantling structural inequality in the form of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, ageism, classism, and xenophobia among others. These principles thus envision dismantling these structural barriers as core components to meaningful community engagement.
