The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the inextricable relationships between environmental degradation, economic precarity, racism, social deprivation, food insecurity, and unsafe working and living conditions.

We broadly discussed community health from multiple perspectives and cultural frames, situated in racial, economic and environmental justice.
