#SpeakForHealth! Tell EPA it must maintain the Endangerment Finding. It is the legal foundation of EPA’s authority to regulate pollution and rolling it back would ignore decades of science with devastating consequences for public health. #ClimateChangesHealth

Congress passed a bill designed to destroy access to care for more than 15 million people, take away critical food from children and families, exacerbate climate change, make it harder for everyone to afford college.... Everyone will suffer. www.apha.org/news-and-med...

The steps RFK Jr took to dismantle Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice are not passive. He is intentionally trying to undermine both trust and the science in vaccines. Don't let him. Thanks @srjreports.bsky.social for this story.

The @apha.org Policy Action Institute is coming up quickly. Expect it to be another engaging and energizing 2 days. Now, maybe more than ever, we need to come together and learn how to be better #PublicHealth advocates. Register today and you can still get the early bird rate.

APHA remembers the late former president Jimmy Carter as a public health champion.

When he was just weeks away from winning the election that made him president, Carter spoke at the 1976 APHA Annual Meeting on Oct.19, 1976. Watch the speech:
