People's Pan-African Wellness Front Series
The People’s Pan-African Wellness Front (PPWF) is a community-based grassroots program led by PACA to confront the health disparities impacting African/Black working-class communities in Southeast Washington, D.C. Inspired by revolutionary legacies like the Black Panther Party’s People’s Free Medical Clinics and the Cuban healthcare model, this program seeks to deliver immediate relief while organizing toward long-term self-determination and community control of health.
The PPWF will provide:
Free high blood pressure screenings
Free glucose tests (diabetes screening) (available upon request)
Free hygiene products and medical supplies
Free health information and guidance for preventative care
