DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has further revealed the shocking racial disparities 
 in our health and our healthcare globally. Our bodies, societies, and 
 planet are inflamed. We have also witnessed mass uprisings around the world 
 in response to this systemic racism and violence. Inflammation is connected 
 to the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the diversity of the microbes 
 living inside us, and to the number of traumatic events we have 
 experienced. It’s connected not only to access to health care but to the 
 very models of health that physicians practice.\n\nJoin Speak Out Now for a 
 discussion with Raj Patel and Dr. Rupa Marya about the hidden relationships 
 between our biological systems and the profound injustices of our political 
 and economic systems, and how a different kind of medicine and healthcare. 
 Could be imagined. They are co-authors of the new book Inflamed: Deep 
 Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice, which provides the basis for their 
 discussion with us.\n\nDr. Rupa Marya is a physician, an activist, a 
 mother, and a composer. She is an associate professor of medicine at the 
 University of California, San Francisco. She is a cofounder of the Do No 
 Harm Coalition, a collective of health workers committed to addressing 
 disease through structural change. Rupa has been invited to help set up the 
 Mni Wiconi Clinic and Farm at Standing Rock and she is a cofounder of the 
 Deep Medicine Circle, and a part of the Farming Is Medicine project.\n\nRaj 
 Patel is a research professor and professor of nutrition at the University 
 of Texas at Austin’s Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, and a 
 research associate at Rhodes University, South Africa. He is the author of 
 Stuffed and Starved and The Value of Nothing, and the coauthor of A History 
 of the World in Seven Cheap Things. He is the co-director of a 
 groundbreaking documentary on climate change and the global food system, 
 The Ants and the Grasshopper. He serves on the International Panel of 
 Experts on Sustainable Food Systems.\n\nFor more event information:
