[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

No challenge poses a greater threat to our future than a changing climate. Every day, we’re feeling the impact of climate change, and today’s Supreme Court decision is a major step backward.

Housing stability is linked to better health outcomes. So it’s clear: Skyrocketing rents are a threat to public health. https://t.co/iL20FQ6kRp

Nearly half of all U.S. renter households are cost-burdened, meaning more than 30% of their income goes to housing – and that number is growing. https://t.co/vfjvzI4xuP

What creates equity? Opportunity for all.

Racism in the U.S. undermines equity and opportunity, inflicting a far-reaching toll on the health of people of color. We need a public health system that doesn’t tolerate discrimination or racism in any form. #NPHW

“Eviction is not just a condition of poverty, it is a cause of it” – @evictionlab. #LegalSupportforRenters policies are proven to help tenants win eviction cases and avoid homelessness, according to this report from @amprog https://t.co/IcF5QmpdkG

Homes in Black neighborhoods are valued at nearly a quarter less than those in comparable White neighborhoods — despite having similar property characteristics and amenities, according to a @BrookingsInst report. https://t.co/Cwhqk7eqQK

What if progress meant well-being for all? Some U.S. communities are taking inspiration from abroad to center well-being, meet the needs of their communities, and invest in a better future for all, writes @KarabiGlobal. https://t.co/D3JLRGCQRv

Thank you @MHNonline for an excellent article. Truly, gyms are no longer enough. Where we live, work & play affects our health more than medical care, genetics, and lifestyle/health behaviors (CDC, 2014).

Nutrition policy must address structural racism that is baked into the food system, including the way land ownership has been controlled; how and where our food is grown; how it is subsidized; and how it is marketed, distributed, and priced. #NationalNutritionMonth

[RWJF @RWJF]

The pandemic exposed major gaps in the U.S. public health and health data infrastructure and illuminated the ways in which structural racism perpetuates health inequities.

Issue priorities by party affiliation, always one of my favorite public opinion charts to look at in advance of the State of the Union. Nice wrap up post on a bunch of relevant survey findings from @pewresearch https://t.co/OXaDBuSLzk
