Who is making America "healthy" again?

Who is making America "healthy" again?

Since last November, global media is dominated by discussions on Trump's second term and what it means for all of us. However, next to MAGA, a new movement emerged: MAHA, meaning Make America Healthy Again, led by Trump's new minister of health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. RFK Jr. has been known for his questionable statements on vaccines, but many people, especially women and mothers, have high hopes that he will regulate large pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food companies, in order to make healthier lifestyles more accessible to Americans. The health and food industries are heavily criticised by the Left, too, especially in the US, however, it is RFK Jr., who has the opportunity to tackle the issues caused by these companies during the next four years. Doctors have been warning the public for the past few months about the new health minister's potential agenda, especially with regards to vaccines, but only time will tell whether he leads the country into a public health crisis, or, for example, focus on improving the quality of food.

This Sunday, we will discuss why MAHA became popular, particularly among women and mothers, and what we can learn from this phenomenon.

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.

Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
