In this tour, we will examine how everyday New Yorkers have struggled, resisted, and organized around the right to health by delivering community-based health care and envisioning a world in which health and safety can exist for all. We will hear about people and places that have mobilized and borne witness to the fight for health equity in Harlem, from healthcare workers advocating to desegregate Harlem Hospital, to the Young Lords’ and Black Panthers’ free acupuncture clinic and detox center, as well as contemporary efforts in the movement for health justice.
Accessibility
We will move at a relaxed pace, but this is a fairly active walk, so please bring comfy shoes and be prepared to stay on your feet (or ride, if you are utilizing a wheelchair) for up to 2 hours.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
