Next Steps on Investment of Federal Funds in Local Public Health!
We have a phenomenal opportunity for you to show support for local public health, and it will only take one minute of your time! To support the tremendous job done by yourselves and others throughout this pandemic, the Coalition for Local Public Health has drafted an open letter to the Massachusetts State Legislature.
By agreeing to sign on, you are letting Massachusetts Legislators know how important it is to invest in an equitable and efficient local public health system. Underfunded for decades, the time is now to dedicate significant funding to ensure that ALL Massachusetts residents, no matter their zip code, have access to the essential public health protections they deserve.
This investment will benefit us for years to come, and we cannot let this opportunity pass us by! Please encourage your friends and families to sign as well. Let us continue to remind each other of the amazing work public health has already done, and dream of what it could accomplish with proper funding and support.
