摘要：
"Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." - Representative John Lewis It is time now for organized medicine to make "good trouble" and call for racial justice in medical education and health care. It is also time to have an honest confrontation with reality in order to bring about racial healing and become anti-racist organizations. Using a racial justice framework, 4 elements described here can chart our course. Organized medicine must come together in solidarity to make "good trouble" and fight collectively for racial justice so that every community we serve can achieve their full health potential and achieve racial equity- that is, giving people what they need to enjoy full, healthy lives regardless of race.
