title: Re-claiming our communities.
abstract: Homelessness, increases in infant mortality, Supreme Court decisions against abortion and affirmative action, and corruption among housing officials are all aspects of the patriarchal control of society that is destroying the health of individuals and communities. Nursing must assume a leadership role not only in offering new ways to structure health care, but in reordering the values of society as a whole.
