Happy Juneteenth! Black liberation remains as critical as ever to health equity and justice. In the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “Nobody is free until everybody’s free.” Learn more about Black leaders who have made the field of public health what it is today: www.red.org/reditorial/a...

❗Another authoritarian attempt to dismantle public systems is underway. The federal OMB has proposed a dangerous new rule that would give political appointees unprecedented power over federal grants.

If enacted, this rule could threaten public health, science, Medicaid, education, food assistance, transportation, local health departments, and all who receive federal grants, opening the door to political interference in funding decisions.

💥HIP mobilized public health on May Day to fight rising authoritarianism + corporate greed. This month, we’re carrying that fight forward + supporting Seven Days in June, a national campaign demanding care, dignity, + investment in public health infrastructure.

Last year, lawmakers passed over $1 trillion in health funding cuts as part of H.R. 1. The most severe human and economic consequences of these cuts will not take effect until later this year, which is why we need to make our voices heard NOW!

Extensive public health research shows that housing insecurity, displacement, and unaffordable rents are linked to anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, increased ER visits, and worse health outcomes for children and families. Housing stability saves lives.

California’s agricultural system is built on a foundation of exploitation. CA agriculture is a $60 billion dollar industry, but farmworkers only earn a median of $15,000 a year in CA. Low wages are not just an economic issue — they’re a public health crisis. Living wage for all farmworkers now!

Happy Farmworker Awareness Week! We’re proud to be part of the worker-led movement for living wages for all farmworkers — because the ability to provide for your family and live with dignity and health is a basic right.

The companies are scared of the growing movement in states and communities to make them pay for climate damages, and they want to escape trial in the growing number of lawsuits over their climate lies.

Climate superfund laws, climate accountability lawsuits, and the end of polluter handouts all share the same goal: saving tax payer dollars making polluters clean up their mess. taxpayers, pay for the damage they caused.

Across the country, states are advancing climate superfund bills, taking oil companies to court, and calling to end fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks. Together, these efforts make up the Make Polluters Pay agenda.

The climate crisis is already costing Americans billions. Fossil fuel companies that knowingly caused this damage must pay their fair share. Just like we make companies clean up toxic waste sites, Big Oil should have to clean up their climate mess.
