We chose language and communications for our first discussion because if we have learned anything, we’ve learned that language matters! Our goal is to recognize how bias manifests itself at Pinnacle Prevention and navigate our roles and actions to eliminate practices that invite/perpetuate bias.

LANGUAGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT

Food Stamps – It is challenging to shift from previous universal term. Stigma associated with different namesSNAP/EBT is current use – Neighborhood/Community Considerations Fat – Fatphobia vs Power Dynamics vs StigmaMore work is needed on bodies of different size (large audience vs small discussions)We need to address sources of weight/body language Tribes/Indigenous/Indian Country/Native

Active Living/Built Environment – Walking, biking, transit How do we integrate/frame rolling? (see LSA reference for inclusivity) Vulnerable/Low wealth/Low income/Economically challenged/At-risk

Move away from universal reference to ‘Brown Communities’

Universally Agreed upon actions for pinnacle prevention

We agree to edit/cross-check each other’s work in alignment with guidance.
We agree that work to improve language will be ongoing.
We agree that discussions will rotate facilitation with a team member volunteering for next facilitation.

What are your thoughts? How can we improve our language?
