Abstrakt: The article argues that health equity requires working toward antiracist local public health departments (LHD). It explains the role of LHDs in antiracist capacity building to earn public trust where there is race discrimination in the health infrastructure. It proposes the disruption of structural racism and racial health inequities by engaging LHDs in advocacy efforts, cross-sector collaborations and community-based partnerships, and providing services in racially marginalized communities.
