Dear John,

Public health is under sustained pressure. We now face an escalating series of challenges: unprecedented attacks on reproductive freedom, surging gun violence, climate-related health emergencies, and policies that continue to widen disparities in care and outcomes for communities of color and other underserved populations. At the same time, public health funding and authority are being undermined across the country.

Now more than ever, our collective voice and advocacy are essential. APHA is on the front lines — pushing for policies, systems reform, and investments that protect health, advance equity, and uphold the rights of all communities.

All members and supporters who contribute to any APHA fund by June 30, 2025, will be recognized in the donor roll of APHA’s annual report shared at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
