Each chapter declares a strategic goal for their direct community and commits to be a part of the collective campaign with support from the CAR organizers, coaches and the campaign coordination committee. Chapters engage together sharing success stories and challenges, participating in community organizing training, and building relationships with organizers from around the world. To date,the campaign has at least 2000 people on its listserv and social media platforms. CAR chapters and members also organize in solidarity across common themes through working groups. In March 2023 the Haiti chapter and working group worked together with partners to organize the Global Trial on Anti Blackness and the Migration Industrial Complex . In June the Haiti working group joined the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Social Justice Initiative and the Haitian Bridge Alliance in organizing a session titled All Eyes on Haiti and collaborated on a resource guide and launched a Mutual Aid Campaign to benefit Haitian communities. On the 1st of June CAR partnered with the Movement for Black Lives and Black Women Policy Lab in hosting a 2hr safe and strategic space for Black leaders in the context of the 2nd session of the Permanent Forum on People of African descent and a representative of the Haiti chapter read out a statement in solidarity with Haitian community co created by the Haiti Chapter and working group. In September CAR also supported a round table on Anti Blackness and Haiti at the Socialism conference in Chicago. In September one of the CAR organizers attended the annual conference for the Council on Black Health which is convening Dr Camara Jones' anti racism collaborative where CAR is leading the global matters of the National Campaign Against Racism.

This transnational program employs a transformative education model designed to equip the next generation of healthcare providers with the tools and knowledge necessary to address health inequities and power structures, and to effectively lead interventions tailored to local contexts. The curriculum encompasses subjects such as social determinants of health, colonialism, and narrative medicine. The course was delivered in a hybrid format, comprising both in-person and online sessions. It is led and implemented by EqualHealth staff from diverse backgrounds, possessing extensive field experience, in addition to the contributions of international experts, professors, and researchers. 18583 0 0 Medical Education Fellowship and Leadership Development Program:The Fellowship aims to support and mentor visionary health professionals from Uganda, Haiti and the United States in their career development, while preparing them to be effective leaders in the field of medical education and to tackle critical social, economic, and political factors linked to illness and healing. Our expanded vision for the Fellowship truly operationalizes our long-stated goal of ensuring global leadership for the global health equity movement and the organization itself. In 2023, two fellows graduated from the Fellowship program. 7387 0 0 Mutual Aid: In 2023, there was a pronounced emphasis on the necessity for assistance from our local partners. We successfully extended financial and strategic support to our partners in Haiti to address the pressing need for recovery amidst a growing security crisis. A retreat was conducted, featuring an adept clinical psychologist who enhanced the team's ability to cope with stress and fear while recuperating from the recurring trauma they endure daily. The participants also deliberated on the challenges of delivering healthcare during crises and devised strategies to counter the loss of hope. Nineteen (19) healthcare professionals from Socmed Alumni Haiti and the Haiti chapter of the campaign against racism collaborated to bring this event to fruition. 14202 2464 0 SMAH:In the face of challenging circumstances in Haiti, SMAH successfully executed professional development and capacity-building initiatives for thirty-five (35) healthcare professionals in Port-au-Prince last year. These training programs concentrated on critical topics such as healthcare economics and financing, universal healthcare coverage in Haiti, and leadership program management (LDP). These efforts underscore our dedication to enhancing local capabilities, nurturing the emergence of healthcare leaders, and fostering a strategy to engage alumni of the social medicine course in advancing health equity and social justice. 26493 0 4850 Annual conference: In 2023, EqualHealth planned its annual social medicine conference at Mbarara University in Uganda. The conference, titled "Advancing Health Equity Through Social Medicine Practice and Education," aimed to bring together health professionals, students, community organizers, and social medicine practitioners to explore the application of social medicine principles in organizing social and health services. It also intended to highlight the benefits of collective actions in addressing health inequities and developing strategies to advance social medicine practice and education. Unfortunately, the conference was canceled after the Ugandan government passed an anti-homosexuality law, which conflicted with the organization's values and raised security and safety concerns for some of the participants. 48082 2464 4850 422577 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 5 0 0 1 HA 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 MA X Arthur Walela 6172302571 PO Box 1575 Brookline MA 02446 Owilli Alex Olirus Director 25 0 X X 46512 0 0 Youri Encelotti Louis Director 20 0 X X 37392 0 0 Stecie Midy Director 1 X 0 0 0 Cassandra Fox Board Member 3 0 X 0 0 0 Michelle Morse President, Director 4 0 X 0 0 0 Marisa Nadas Director, Implementation Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Zadok Sacks Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jean Eliazar Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Hugo Ernesto Flores Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kettie Louis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Pierre Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Joel Schroeder Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Westerhaus Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Evan Lyon Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Aine Provia Clerk 2 0 X 0 0 0 83904 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 175296 0 175296 2800 0 0 2800 2800 9728 9728 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 187824 9728 0 2800 7311 7311 0 0 366318 240818 75412 50088 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2291 401 1890 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32460 32460 0 0 0 0 0 0 756 540 216 19801 14823 1948 3030 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 0 0 10968 10768 200 0 0 0 0 0 66746 65230 758 758 0 0 0 41641 41641 0 0 0 0 0 0 6128 2908 1790 1430 1034 677 150 207 560454 422577 82364 55513 1077612 391123 309445 4414 1077612 704982 0 0 X 1027612 704982 50000 0 1077612 704982 1077612 704982 -372630 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 336567 459944 439249 936025 187824 2359609 336567 459944 439249 936025 187824 2359609 2359609 22550 0 0 0 0 22550 2382159 0.99053 0.99911 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 NA RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Final draft is shared and reviewed by trustees before submitting the filing.
