Racism Is A Public Health Crisis. Ohio Wants To Declare It A Statewide Emergency.
Police brutality, environmental racism and the psychological toll of racial aggression are all health issues.

As nationwide protests continue over the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was killed when a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck last month, Ohio is trying to declare racism a public health emergency.

Other jurisdictions are exploring similar declarations, but if this measure is successful, Ohio would be the first state in the country to name systemic racism as a public health emergency.

Would never have thought of Ohio as a state on the leading edge of anything, but it’s an interesting start.
