Global Health Solidarity Network

Farewell from Twitter (X)

At the Global Health Solidarity Project, our mission is to shift the understanding and practice of solidarity in global health across the world.

Our work brings us into meaningful engagement with diverse communities — from the most privileged to the most marginalised, underrepresented, and underserved — bridging gaps and promoting solidarity, equity, and justice.

In light of this mission, we have reflected deeply on the platforms we use to share our work. We no longer align with the current ownership and prevailing use of Twitter (X), which has increasingly fostered an environment where marginalised voices are suppressed and targeted. Remaining here would conflict with our commitment to amplifying diverse perspectives and protecting spaces for respectful, inclusive dialogue.

We will continue to share our updates, research, and opportunities on platforms that better reflect our values. You can follow and engage with us here:

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with us here over the years, and we look forward to continuing the conversation elsewhere.

WATCH NOW + READ THE RECAP

Our 4th Bi-Monthly Webinar, ‘Rethinking Solidarity in Global Health: Perspectives from Latin America’, co-organised with @_CLACSO and the University of Costa Rica, was a bold and timely conversation on what solidarity truly means in times of crisis.

From feminist resistance and ancestral medicine to the decolonisation of global health frameworks, our brilliant speakers, Prof. Carmen Cariño Trujillo, Peggy Chamorro (M. Sc.), and Dr. Gonzalo Basile, offered grounded, uncompromising reflections that continue to resonate.

In our latest news story, we unpack the urgent and unflinching insights that emerged from this powerful session. What does solidarity look like from the territories — from the margins, and from those who live resistance every day?

KEY TAKEAWAYS: The 4th Global Health Solidarity Bi-Monthly Webinar.

Under the theme Rethinking Solidarity in Global Health: Perspectives from Latin America, this session was a rich, insightful and engaging conversation on what solidarity means today, especially from the margins.

Deep gratitude to our co-hosts, @_CLACSO and the University of Costa Rica, and to our phenomenal speakers who brought critical insight, vulnerability, and courage to the discussion.

Here are some reflections that resonated:

Prof. Carmen Cariño Trujillo reminded us that solidarity begins in the territories, and highlighted the Zapatista vision of “the other health”—a grassroots model rooted in food sovereignty, traditional medicine, and the belief that “the health of the people cannot be conceived without the health of the territory.”

Peggy Chamorro (M. Sc.) reminded us that solidarity is not abstract—it’s deeply felt and born at the margins. “We are not the health mainstream,” she said, urging academia to recognise the knowledge forged through resistance. She called for the social decriminalisation of abortion, bringing forward silenced stories of women navigating impossible choices.

Dr. Gonzalo Basile exposed the colonial foundations still embedded in Latin America’s health systems, shaped by Northern models and global agendas. “We need to identify what we are decolonising from,” he urged, calling for health sovereignty rooted in local realities, knowledge, and struggles.

From resistance to megaprojects and the preservation of ancestral wisdom, to feminist organising, food autonomy, and epistemic sovereignty, this conversation spotlighted powerful models already alive across Latin America.

Stay tuned for a summary and recording from the webinar.
