For al the smoke & ire, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments -- I think The Powers that Be have pretty much proved they can & will ignore whatever they choose -- until those who are disturbing their peace with their petty demands for transparency & justice ... exhaust themselves into sweet silence ... again. But thanks for suggesting otherwise. We'll see who's right soon enough.

FWIW, we need our messages to demand actual things, not abstractions. "Health Justice" is abstract.

I researched “health justice”, and it is clearly a thing. It may seem abstract and not a thing to you, but that paints you as not getting it. Those that suffer injustice know it is not abstract. It is real, and I hope you will study on this. Health justice is also called health equity.

Policy is Health Justice or Health Equity. I think you are looking for the initiatives that create a platform, of which health is but one leg. The DNC is not ready to discuss a platform with initiatives. I have written on this extensively but there is no response from the DNC.
