APHA’s Speak for Health campaign is coming up soon. It’s an opportunity for Affiliate and APHA members to advocate for public health and connect with federal legislators when they are home during August recess. We could potentially plan ALPHA activities, in addition to these ones recommended by APHA:
Speak for Health Ideas:
- Attend 2021 Speak for Health Advocacy Training Webinar – July 15, 3-5pm (ET) – Link to register for webinar: docs.google.com/
forms/d/e/… - Only have a few minutes:
-
- Send an APHA Action Alert (if you have time, personalize your Action Alert)
- Post on Social Media – see social media shareables (state-specific sharables … Coming Soon!)
- Have a little more time:
-
- Attend a (Virtual) Town Hall
-
- Make a congressional visit to your Senators and/or Representative(s)
