Passion, politics, and public health: these are the hallmarks of any movement working for health equity. They are also core to the mission of the Spirit of 1848, an APHA Caucus whose work focuses on the inextricable link between social justice and public health and does so in relation to the politics of public health data, progressive pedagogy, and the social history of public health. In this spirit, we are happy to devote our Spirit of 1848 integrative session to public discussion about the ways progressive public health workers can use the upcoming PBS broadcast on “Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?” as a way to galvanize US national, state, and local organizing around issues of social justice and public health. Join us for a session in which we can collectively figure out effective ways to spread the word and do the work!

Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to

• describe the objectives of the Spirit of 1848 integrative session, linking passion, politics, and public health in relation to the politics of public health data, the social history of public health, and progressive pedagogy.
• articulate the significance of the PBS broadcast “Unnatural Causes
  Is Inequality Making Us Sick” for work linking social justice & public health
  • highlight the importance of building a social movement for health equity
