402 years after the first African slave ship arrived on British North American shores, 156 years after freed Black slaves were criminalized, imprisoned, and hanged under post-Civil War Black Codes and post-Reconstruction Jim Crow, 66 years after Emmitt Till's brutal murder in Mississippi, 30 years after four White LAPD officers were acquitted despite clubbing an unarmed Rodney King 51 times, on camera, the 2021 murder and manslaughter convictions of Derek Chauvin are, perhaps, the 'Justice for All' turning point that will connect all who seek Health Justice (in housing, education, nutrition, climate, criminal codes, policing, judicial reform, mass incarceration, and more), with Healthcare Justice (by means of a comprehensive, fully accessible, quality-and-race-equity-based Single-Payer/Medicare for All/Universal Healthcare system).
When we unite across barriers of race, class, ethnicity, identity, geography, age, religion/non-religion and issue priorities, through our shared values, stories, empathy, trust, and respect, we create the power to win on all fronts!
Leading with Healthcare Justice for All, One Payer States fervently embraces Health for All and today's truly historic jury finding is a critical step in the direction of this nation's long-delayed promise: Justice for All.
Yours in unity, solidarity, and victory!
