America’s government has been corrupted by money. Politicians promise change but end up working for the special interests and lobbyists who fund their political careers instead of representing the People.

A Princeton University study of more than 20 years’ worth of data shows that while our government does represent the interests of economic elites and lobbying organizations, the opinions of average Americans have statistically no impact on public policy. It is, quite literally, taxation without representation.

A training on understanding the worldviews of the Hispanic/Latino and Somali cultures and how they impact health; this workshop is a part of the Columbus Public Health “Fundamentals Training” series.

Sponsored by the Columbus Public Health Office of Minority Health in conjunction with [Ohio] Minority Health Month.
