As we reflect on this week’s Election Day in the United States, ASPPH reaffirms a powerful truth: Voting is Public Health. Your participation in the democratic process goes far beyond a single act—it is a direct investment in the health of our communities and nation. Through voting, we influence policies that address health equity, access to care, environmental protection, and the resilience of our public health systems.

While Election Day has passed with Donald J. Trump winning a second term as President, our work continues. On November 13, 2024, we invite you to join our upcoming ASPPH Presents Webinar, What the US Presidential Election Outcome Means for Public Health, where we will discuss the election’s implications for our field. ASPPH will also use the election results to shape our policy and advocacy strategy for the coming year, working toward a healthier, more equitable future for all.
