Statement from Trust for America’s Health, American Public Health Association, National Association of County and City Health Officials, Prevention Institute, and Public Health Institute
Yesterday, President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency. This provides critical recognition for what has long been clear to those living on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic, but the administration’s response so far is too small and narrow to meet the scale of the challenge we face. Fifty-seven thousand dollars in a Public Health Emergency Fund and increased ‘flexibility’ to shift much-needed funding away from other health priorities like HIV/AIDS, as could result from the administration’s order, will not even begin to address this crisis.
Graham-Cassidy is Legislative Malpractice - It Would Greatly Harm the Nation's Health: Joint Statement from American Public Health Association, Prevention Institute, Public Health Institute, and Trust for America’s Health
We were shocked, but not surprised, by the horrific hate-driven violence in Charlottesville and the motivations behind it. We reject hatred, racism, white supremacy, and white nationalism. Sadly, the violence and unrest perpetrated this weekend reminds us that what happened in Charlottesville could happen at any moment anywhere in the United States. Every city, every community in our nation is vulnerable as we are living at a time when hate groups, who have a long history of discriminatory policies on their side, have been emboldened by the divisive words and inactions of political leaders whose responsibility is to ensure justice and safety for all—including communities of color and Native American communities, people who are LGBTQ+, low-income communities and people living in poverty, people of various faiths, and immigrants. Both the hate and the devastating outcomes of the ‘Unite the Right’ rally are politically unacceptable and deeply personal to all of us.
