Dr Anthony Iton: is health political? Absolutely- just look at the science.
"We argue that democracy is good for your health, that fundamentally health is political"
Originally from Montreal, Canada; Anthony Iton, MD, JD, MPH, attended Johns Hopkins Medical School, where he saw himself in his patients and saw the disparities between him and them just because of the different environments they grew up in, and how those experiences steered him to see the intersection among health, equity, and politics. Currently, he teaches public health advocacy at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health and is the senior vice president of the California Endowment.
Check out An Inconvenient Truth, which helped Dr. Iton understand the gravity of the climate crisis. Read Dr Iton’s landmark study published in the SF Chronicle: Alameda county death certificates- 22yr differences in lifespan across different areas of Oakland.
