SPOTLIGHT ON SPH
Voting Ahead of the Midterms
The health of populations is shaped by the politics and policies that create the world around us. Elections have real consequences for public health, making voting a central pillar of the public health community and our efforts towards creating a better, healthier world, as shared in a recent note from Dean Sandro Galea, Voting and Our Health.
Recently, we were joined by March for Our Lives leader David Hogg and BUSPH Board Member John Rosenthal for a Public Health Conversation on the importance of voting and the responsibility of public health to promote voter engagement, cohosted with America is Calling. Vote!
AMERICA IS CALLING. VOTE! IS AN EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE VOTERS UNDER 35 TO VOTE IN THE UPCOMING MIDTERM ELECTIONS. AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNITY, WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO EMPOWER VOTERS TO VOTE AND TO #VOTEFORHEALTH.
America is Calling. Vote! has produced two videos and a social media toolkit to promote voter turnout, available in both English and Spanish.
