Tzedek DC's recent groundbreaking report on medical debt was featured in the Washington Informer.

Our report, titled "More Than a Band-Aid: Systemic Changes to Protect DC Residents from Medical Debt," shows how medical debt drives financial hardship, worsens health outcomes, and deepens racial and economic disparities in the District. It also offers solutions that the DC Council can implement as a state-level government.

In addition to fantastic quotes from our Director, Ariel Levinson-Waldman, the article also includes shout-outs from Councilmember Christina Henderson, chair of the DC Council Committee on Health, and Berneta Haynes from the National Consumer Law Center.

Our Eat Well, Do Justice!® 2025 event works to raise money to address critical issues like these. Join us on September 29 to support this work! Tickets and sponsorships are available here.
