"These operations are actively sowing fear & trauma within communities already at greater risk of poor health outcomes. When residents & families are afraid to seek medical care, report crimes, access essential public services, or move freely within their neighborhoods, preventable harms compound."

Current Immigration Policy Harms Community Health The surge of ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere has direct implications for communities across the country. Aggressive immigration enforcement disproportionately targets and harms immigrants, refugees, low-income residents, and communities of color - groups already facing structural barriers to health and wellbeing. These operations are actively sowing fear and trauma within communities already at greater risk of poor health outcomes. When residents and families are afraid to seek medical care, report crimes, access essential public services, or move freely within their neighborhoods, preventable harms compound. As a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that helps advance equitable laws and policies for better health, respects the rule of law, and embraces the values and vision of the US Constitution, we at ChangeLab Solutions are saddened and outraged by the escalating violence against the people of our country - residents and citizens alike.

Important. If we aren't increasing capacity for #PublicHealthLaw among working public health professionals, we are missing a huge opportunity. @changelabsolutions.bsky.social is a leader in this effort.

New on FirstView: "Training Future Public Health Professional in Law: Results from a Pilot Curriculum" by Florence Pham, Jami Crespo, Montrece Ransom, and Tyra Satchell. #PublicHealth #Curriculum www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Columns: Teaching Health Law Training Future Public Health Professional in Law: Results from a Pilot Curriculum Florence Pham1, Jami Crespo2, Montrece Ransom3 and Tyra Satchell2 1National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce, DRT Strategies, INC., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, United States; 2ChangeLab Solutions, Oakland, United States and 3National Network of Public Health Institutes, St. Louis, United States Abstract Recognizing the increased demand for public health law skills within the public health workforce, ChangeLab Solutions, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, conducted a pilot program to increase knowledge of law among public health students. In partnership with a team of curriculum consultants, ChangeLab Solutions developed and piloted a curriculum across eight public health programs that consisted of six modules which focused on defining public health law and explaining its role in shaping health outcomes and inequities. Faculty members that piloted the modules found students had an increased knowledge of public health law concepts after completing the modules. Faculty members also experienced several barriers that might hinder effective delivery of the curriculum. Integration of public health law concepts into public health coursework within SPPH is one method of increasing students’ preparedness and capacity to use legal tools in addressing health outcomes and inequities.
