Healthcare Reparations Cooperative

The Work

The Healthcare Reparations Cooperative is a strategic system change organization whose work is to dismantle dominant narratives and oppressive structures related to the medical industrial complex while expanding the possibilities for what health, healing, medicine, and public health can be. We are dedicated to: 

• Establishing an independent system for health and healing that uncouples racial capitalism from health.

• Integrating economic, systemic, and interpersonal reparations and strategies for resource redistribution into the current health[care] system.

• Catalyzing authentic and cooperatively owned community-driven research to recenter health and healing narratives and solutions. 

The Dream

We dream of a health and healing landscape that does not create and perpetuate, is not biased and informed by, and actively rejects all hierarchies of oppression. We dream of a future where health and healing are systematically equitable and accessible to all. This requires: 

• Dismantling oppressive systems within health[care] and advocating for systemic change that addresses the root causes of inequities and health disparities. 

• Fostering spaces for greater health equity, social justice, and reparative and accountable work in the health[care] space.
