Building Revolutionary Alternatives to Capitalist Healthcare - Part 2

Details

In the U.S., the capitalist healthcare system doesn’t just fail Black people, it actively exploits and endangers us, especially the Black working class. Chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease are more prevalent in Black communities and driven by structural inequality. From overwork and unsafe labor conditions to polluted neighborhoods, high-stress living, and lack of access to affordable, preventative care. The ruling class wants us to believe there is no alternative — but there are models rooted in people-centered, revolutionary values that prove otherwise.

Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for Part 2 of our Assata Shakur Study Group series, where we’ll explore how capitalist healthcare harms the Black working class, examine global models that put people over profit, and strategize toward building independent systems of community control and collective care.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
This is a hybrid event with an option to participate online.
