SUMMARY:Race & Health Justice Reading Group: “Policing & Health”
DESCRIPTION:In our next reading group we shall discuss a short paper exploring the impacts of policing on public health\, defunding the police and the abolitionist approach to public health: Deivanayagam TA\, Lasoye S\, Smith J\, et al Policing is a threat to public health and human rights BMJ Global Health 2021;6:e004582  \nWe invite participants to engage with two sets of questions: group A and group B questions. Group A questions are mostly for your personal reflection and you won’t be asked to share your responses during the reading group unless you choose to do so in a breakout room. Group B questions are the issues we will certainly reflect on during our time together. \nGroup A questions:\n\nHow do you instinctively react to the police? How does your community/people you associate with mostly react to the police?\nHow have your past experiences (direct or indirect) with the police informed your opinion of them?\n\nGroup B questions:\n\nHow do you encounter policing in your workplace?\nWhat are your views on defunding the police/reallocation of funds as a solution?\n\nPracticalities and accessibility:\n\nWe will circulate our group ground rules when you sign up\, and ask that you only join us if you are happy to commit to these principles.\nPlease read the article ahead of the reading group. If you would like an audio version\, or to read it collectively with others before the group\, please email us.\nWe expect most attendees will be people working in healthcare\, but the group is open to all.\nThe reading group will be on Zoom – we will run through logistics at the start of the meeting\, but if you are new to Zoom there is a user guide here. The zoom application will download automatically when you click on a meeting link for the first time.\nWe can provide captioning and/or BSL interpreting\, please email us\nYou are welcome to have your camera on or off\, and to eat during the session\, but please do come willing to contribute to the discussion!\nWe will have a scheduled break halfway through.\nWe will cap numbers in order to have a small and active discussion.\nPlease let us know if there is anything else we can do to support you to attend.\n\nIf you have any queries prior to the event please feel free to email us: racehealthjustice@medact.org \nIf you are unable to join this session\, please do join our mailing list to hear about future events and how to get involved. \nPlease register to join us\n[Registration has now closed]
