Community Safety Through Racial Justice Learning Series #2, September 21, 2021

In this video Prevention Institute's Xavier Lofton, La’Quana Williams, and Zachary Tarro facilitate the second session of a three-part bi-monthly learning series for local health jurisdictions and their community and government partners on applying racial justice principles and practices to build community safety.

This session builds on key concepts from the "Building Bridges: The Strategic Imperative for Advancing Health Equity and Racial Justice" paper, and features examples from a local California health department utilizing a racial justice framework and dimensions of time to advance violence prevention efforts.

In this session, participants were introduced to a set of strategic opportunities for organizations to advance health equity and racial justice, as well as ways to build capacity to normalize, prioritize, and incentivize “truth, racial healing, and transformation” in violence prevention work.
