Abstract

As public health mourns the inequitable loss of lives to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and confronts other major social crises, practitioners must explicitly address systems of oppression in their everyday praxis. We describe how the principles of public health critical race praxis (PHCRP) and design justice (DJ) can advance equity in public health. We begin with an overview of PHCRP and DJ, and develop an integrated approach to facilitate community-led change. We apply this approach to the example of COVID-19 vaccine distribution and conclude with a call to action, arguing for PHCRP and DJ to become integral part of public health practice.
