.@RWJF remains committed to advancing policies, programs, and practices that promote racial and health equity to create a thriving democracy where health is not a privilege for some, but a right for all.

Everyone in America should have access to high-quality, affordable, and comprehensive healthcare. Healthcare coverage is one of the single greatest ways to achieve health equity and ensure that health is no longer a privilege, but a right.

Clinicians, policymakers, journalists, community developers, organizers, funders: Together we the power to shape the way our systems work. And our work will only succeed when it’s done in deep collaboration and with respect for those who our systems consistently fail.

We must recruit, retain, and promote diverse faculty, staff, and students to create a healthcare workforce that reflects the rich tapestry of our society.

Structural racism deeply embedded in the federal laws governing wages is denying fair wages to more than 5 million hardworking service workers. Ending the subminimum wage would be a big step toward economic justice and giving everyone a fair and just opportunity to thrive.

In the wake of recent policy wins intended to advance equity, we're also witnessing efforts that impede progress. Our work aims to ensure that those with the greatest barriers to opportunity are setting the agenda and our laws are designed to address past harm from discriminatory government actions. rwjf.ws/3TRQPCX
