Beyond Do No Harm - Health Providers Refusing Criminalization
Beyond Do No Harm Network event showcases the launch of their 13 principles to assist health care providers in interrupting criminalization
Interrupting Criminalization is an organization devoted interrupting and ending the growing criminalization and incarceration of women, girls, trans, and gender nonconforming people of color for criminalized acts related to public order, poverty, child welfare, drug use, survival and self-defense, including criminalization and incarceration of survivors of violence.
On Thursday November 3rd at 630p ET (330p PT), join Interrupting Criminalization and members of their Beyond Do No Harm network for the official launch of their Principles Release Party; 13 principles for health care providers to interrupt criminalization. This panel discussion features an invitation to action on how health care providers can recommit to caring for people by refusing to participate in criminalization. These 13 principles were developed over the last 3 years by their Beyond Do No Harm network, which includes health care providers, public health workers, impacted community members, and organizers working across social justice movements.
Some of these initiatives include:
- End police and ICE presence in hospitals, in or near health care facilities, and places where people are accessing care.
- End information gathering and documentation that is not directly relevant or related to the person’s course of care.
- End screening and testing without explicit and informed consent.
