Aim:
Our Basic Needs Are Met
Primary Root Cause
Providers, organizations, and community members do not acknowledge bias and do not treat everyone in a respectful, equitable manner
Secondary Root Cause
Priorities of upper/middle-class policy makers and service providers do not reflect understanding of community members' immediate needs and barriers
