It is time for medicine to do away w its obsession w restricted academic journals + esoteric publications.

Our author team of "Toward the Abolition of Biological Race" chose to publish independently bc medicine has a RESPONSIBILITY to apply this knowledge directly to the people.
Community members cannot access NEJM/JAMA/etc w/out institutional access. Even Scientific American has a specific level of edu associated w its readership.

If we are working for the people, we must make knowledge interdisciplinary+accessible to those most affected by our work.
During the last 3 months, our report has had 40k+ impressions worldwide. We have also talked abt the harms of biological race in medicine + our visions forward to:

✊🏽 congressional legislative aides
✊🏽 sociology students
✊🏽 lay news reporters
✊🏽 community health educators
At the Institute for Healing and Justice in Medicine, we encourage people of all bckgrds, esp those outside of medicine and healthcare professions, to join us in our work for a medicine that centers justice, community, and healing.
