Act for Public Health 2025 Briefings

Navigating the Impact of Federal Actions on Public Health Practice.

Public health practitioners and policymakers need to stay informed amid the shifting legal landscape brought about by recent federal activities. The Act for Public Health partners are hosting a new forum for timely conversations that explain and interpret the impact of federal action on state and local public health practice. Join us biweekly from May 14 to July 9 for 30-minute informal discussions between speakers with topical expertise. We’ll cover federal actions on subject areas such as immigration; LGBTQ+ communities; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives; and more. Each session will focus on a different topic.

These webinars are for public health professionals at the state and local level, nonprofit organizations, academics, researchers, attorneys, and those with a stake in federal actions affecting public health.

Briefings will be held at the same time every two weeks, at 11am PT / 2pm ET, on the following Wednesdays:

  • May 14
  • May 28
  • Jun 11
  • Jun 25
  • Jul 9
