💡This year's @apha.org annual meeting is wrapping up today so we leave you with APHA TV's video about the FXB Center’s mission and scholarship. FXB was selected as one of the featured partners in the 2025 Thought Leadership Film Series: tinyurl.com/2u55wd8v
Health, Rights, and Justice | FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University
The FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University advances the idea that health is a fundamental human right. For over three decades, the Center has focused on urgent and often neglected issues from children orphaned by AIDS to the structural inequalities driving poor health outcomes in the United States and globally. Through interdisciplinary research, teaching, and advocacy, FXB bridges public health and human rights, addressing gaps in evidence, policy, and legal frameworks. Bringing together experts from medicine, law, social science, and public health, the Center produces influential scholarship, trains future leaders, and amplifies marginalized voices to promote justice and equity in health. https://fxb.harvard.edu

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

“From its founding over 20 years ago, the FXB Center has focused deliberately on urgent and overlooked priorities, beginning with children orphaned by AIDS, an area of scholarship that was largely absent at the time. The Roma program continues this legacy,” — Jehane Sedky, @fxbharvard.bsky.social
