In these unprecedented times, members of People’s Health Movement Canada from across Turtle Island came together to reflect on what health justice looks like during the COVID-19 pandemic. While mourning the suffering and immense loss caused by the outbreak, we are encouraged by the social solidarity as communities come together in mutual aid networks, sharing resources and supporting each other in tangible ways.
The current pandemic is unfolding upon unjust structures that have plagued our society for decades or centuries. There is a need to reinvest in public healthcare, as Spain and Ireland have already shown it necessary to renationalise the health service, not only to absorb the impact of the pandemic, but also to sustain our society into
the future.
