MOSAIC was shown in six different locations, featured 20 different panelists, and saw over 500 attendees. Together, we shared in an experience that hopefully will inform health equity, especially for western MA communities of color, for years to come. The stories that were shared in this film are just the start of a larger, ongoing conversation we hope to highlight as we go forward.

MOSAIC has already been requested by almost 200 organizations in western MA and nationally that will be showing the film, including health departments, foundations, college faculty, public schools and community coalitions!

This film is only the beginning. We hope you found the content and the discussion beneficial, and we welcome feedback at any time. Especially any thoughts on how the film affected you since you attended the screening. The connections made at these events have the potential to ignite real change. We’re committed to advancing health equity in the Western Mass area, and excited that you’re joining us for this. We’re currently working on updating our next-steps page to give you all ways to keep advancing the fight towards a more liberated and healthy future.

What becomes possible when we ask:

What would a world without racism look like?
What would it be like if quality healthcare were accessible to all?
How can we embrace and support wellbeing in all its manifestations?
What could healthy communities look like…and accomplish?

These are some of the questions we continuously ask ourselves in our work at the Western Massachusetts Health Equity Network. We have also explored this vision at three biannual summits that, since 2014, have brought together people from throughout our region who care about and are working for racial justice, policy change, and health for all, in all its many aspects.
