This editorial is based on the author’s keynote address to the American Legacy Foundation’s Second Annual Grantee Training Conference, “Expanding the Dialogue for Cultural Competencies and Social Justice: Highlighting Our Successes and Expanding Our Circles,” Washington, DC, September 30, 2003. The author serves as a member of the American Legacy Foundation’s Low Socioeconomic Status Steering Committee for Priority Populations, a member of the resource team for Community Voices, and a peer reviewer for Small Innovative Grants. The goal of expanding the dialogue for cultural competencies and social justice with regard to tobacco control and prevention entails both challenges and opportunities. The first challenge is to create unity, to both transcend and celebrate our differences. The second is to assemble concrete guidance rather than merely deliver oratory to the committed practitioners who, day in and day out, conduct the essential work of public health. The third and fundamental challenge is to build up tobacco control and prevention programs and policies while also supporting other essential goals of a just society, including providing a living wage to every worker, safe and affordable housing to every individual, and quality education to every child.
