Five on Friday: New Year 2021

Happy new year! Lots of work to do this year in health justice. Here are a few resources, recommended by MCN staff, to help us push forward.  

Luis shared “Guía de autocuidado en diabetes durante una contingencia,” from the Asociación Mexicana de Diabetes.

Amy shared The Year in US Occupational Health and Safety.

Cloé recommended a January 14th webinar, “Addressing the Role of the Vaccine in Workplace COVID-19 Prevention: How to Weed through Misinformation, Mistrust, and Improve Worker Protection,” offered by NIEHS

Laz shared the article he co-wrote: “Q&A: What PCPs Need to Know about COVID-19 Vaccines.”

Weekly Win: Over the holidays, UFW and Farmworker Justice had a win in the courts, as a judge halted the implementation of a rule that could effectively lower the wages of H-2A workers: “Federal Court Grants Farmworker Groups an Injunction Against US Department of Labor’s Decision to Freeze Wages Under the H-2A Guestworker Program.”

Have a safe and healthy weekend.
