SUMMARY:Beyond Barriers
DESCRIPTION:The Simmons University Master of Public Health program invites you to this event offered in the context of its Boston Immersion course\, Racism\, Oppression\, and Health. During the immersive course experience\, students analyze racism and the several intersectional systems of oppression and marginalization that shape health with the long history\, rich culture\, and urban landscape of Boston as a backdrop. \n\n\n\nThis hybrid event will highlight the barriers to health and justice for immigrant communities in the Greater Boston area and across Massachusetts. It will also bring forth the organising and advocacy being done to address the problem. \n\n\n\nJoin us in person or register to join online!\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nAngie Coronado\, Director\, Health Equity at La Colaborativa will provide insight into the lived experiences and inequitable health outcomes people experience due to migration and immigration status. She will share about the outreach and programming that La Colaborativa is doing to provide vital resources and support through transformative programs and initiatives\, empowering Latinx individuals and families.  \n\n\n\nElizabeth Sweet\, Executive Director of MIRA Coalition\, will discuss systemic and structural barriers to health and justice that immigrant and refugee populations face. A coalition of over 140 organisations\, Sweet will highlight the work MIRA Coalition does toward the social\, civic and economic integration of immigrants and refugees. She will also share about the advocacy the organization does for progressive policies at the state\, local and national levels. \n\n\n\nThe MPH program in the Department of Public Health of Simmons University advances a vision where all individuals and communities are assured fair and equitable opportunity to achieve optimal health and well-being\, ensuring inclusivity across identities\, locations and circumstances.
