In Solidarity is back for a new series exploring the power of organizing to improve our health. We’re diving into public health’s history of organizing around just causes and the ways it can return to its powerful, political roots.

The first episode of In Solidarity's four-part series covers how the field of public health is rooted in organizing and how practitioners can re-engage and reconnect to their powerful, political origins. Physician, epidemiologist and host of the America Dissected podcast, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, joins the conversation to discuss public health's history with organizing and the ways we can use organizing to improve health.
