YWCA Tulsa s Campaign Aims To Contextualize Racial Inequality As Public Health Crisis

By: Ashlyn Brothers TULSA, Okla. - The Young Women’s Christian Association’s Stand Against Racism campaign is underway at the group’s Tulsa chapter. Saturday s virtual event was centered around healthcare.  Health experts and local leaders from various sectors believe the campaign is a pathway to solutions but addressing racism as a public health crisis is far from over.  Access to healthcare for certain groups, social activists said, isn t easily accessible.  Racism is not a unique problem,” YWCA Tulsa director of community engagement Ebony Easiley said. “Racism is something that permeates in every system.” Easiley said Saturday’s panel titled From Declarations To Change: Addressing Racism as a Public Health Crisis is the continuation of a nationwide conversation.
