Cancer Health Equity NOW
The Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium and The Office of Community Outreach and Engagement bring you community voices in cancer care and prevention. Join us for conversations about cancer-related research, cultural humility, personal stories, and community-led work to reduce health inequities in Washington State.
"We acknowledge exploited labor, racist, heterosexist, ableist, xenophobic, religious, sexist, trans-antagonistic and other oppressive violence, and the ongoing struggle for justice in this land. We reflect on the ancestors of our various peoples, nations, tribes, and families; ancestors whose struggles, pain, power, privilege and strivings we hold in our very bodies. We recognize, with gratitude, all those whose sacrifice, struggle, and labor make our daily freedoms possible, and challenge us to learn, work, and live justly."
