Two House Democrats introduced a resolution this week that declares racism as a public health crisis and calls on Congress to dismantle "systemic practices and policies that perpetuate racism in the United States."

The resolution from Reps. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn., and Tony Cardenas, D-Calif., makes a series of findings that say the U.S. has a "longstanding history and legacy of racism" against people of color, and that the effects of slavery in particular are still forcing Black Americans to "face the ramifications of systemic racism through unjust and discriminatory structures and policies."

The measure argues that this legacy continues to affect the health and well-being of people of color today and concludes that the U.S. health care system is one of many economic and social structures in America that is still "fraught with racism and racial, ethnic, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identify), and class biases that lead to health inequity and health disparities."
