The Praxis Project has organized a set of Principles for Health Justice and Racial Equity to help guide our work in partnership with allies in order to center community interests in the design, promotion, and implementation of policies and initiatives that support justice and equity for everyone. These principles are inspired by the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, a guiding framework, created in 1996 by 40 diverse environmental justice leaders and organizers. Through these principles, we envision a society in which community organizers, affected communities, advocates and policymakers move beyond just addressing inequitable outcomes, to where the systems that lead to inequity are transformed through community-centered initiatives that advance health justice.
