Abstract / Description: 

Health equity is where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to live their healthiest life possible.

But health inequity remains.

Now the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening historical inequities, and disproportionately affecting and killing Latinos and other people of color.

So what can we do?

We need to both immediate focus to ease the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on Latinos and people of color, as well as long-term strides to address underlying inequities that are aggravated during this time.

It won’t be easy, or fast. But here’s few ways to push for health equity.
