The Community Control of Health is a committee of Black and Brown, Poz, Queer and Trans community members who envision a world where community has full control of our overall well being. We envision a world where Black, Brown, trans, queer, poz people have a divine right to embrace the holistic remedies of our ancestors. We seek a patient-first and patient-vote model of care and reject the current profit-driven western medical model. Our community is dying, our systems fail us. We know we are the experts, therefore we should be at the front of all policy recommendations. Our health and our lives are always at the hands of others. No more.
