SUMMARY:People's Pan-African Wellness Front - Health Services for the People by the People
DESCRIPTION:D.C.’s healthcare system\, like the rest of the U.S.\, is profit-driven and structurally racist. Black residents—especially those east of the Anacostia River—suffer from higher rates of chronic illness and maternal mortality and life expectancy gaps of over 15 years compared to white residents. Pan-African Community Action (PACA) has launched a revolutionary survival program to provide practical services while building political power. The People’s Pan-African Wellness Front (PPWF) is a community-based grassroots program led by PACA to confront the health disparities impacting African/Black working-class communities in Southeast Washington\, D.C. Inspired by revolutionary legacies like the Black Panther Party’s People’s Free Medical Clinics and the Cuban healthcare model\, this program seeks to deliver immediate relief while organizing toward long-term self-determination and community control of health. \nThe PPWF will provide: \n\nFree high blood pressure screenings\nFree glucose tests (diabetes screening) (available upon request)\nFree hygiene products and medical supplies\nFree health information and guidance for preventative care\n\nAs well as political education on community control of health and radical health programs\, including the Black Panther Party’s Free Medical Clinics and the Lincoln Detox Center. Medical professionals will also be available to answer health-related questions. Come out March 22nd either to receive services and/or to learn how to come involved with later phases of the program to scale up services\, expand into more neighborhoods\, and anchor broader campaigns around community control. This effort is part of PACA’s broader strategy to build forums for participatory democracy and build a mass movement for power. \nThis is more than a health program—it’s a step toward Black self-determination. We welcome healthcare workers\, students\, community members\, and all who are ready to organize\, learn\, and build power. \n
