DEI BOOK CLUB: THE SUM OF US

Issued by Revo Health

The DEI BookClub provided a platform for conversation about the impact of systemic racism and other forms of oppression as highlighted by author Heather Mc Ghee. We also discussed the importance of paying attention to the impacts race, gender and economic status can play as we develop policies and processes. Our goal is to create a workplace where people can bring their best selves to work and patients get the highest quality of care.

Critical discussion of ZERO-SUM THEORY: Many white Americans view race as a zero-sum game: There’s an us and a them, and what’s good for them is bad for us. This rationale animates our public policies even today, when those who benefit from our country’s drastic economic inequality sell the zero-sum story to block public support for any collective action that benefits us all, from universal healthcare to living wages.
