The American Public Health Association supports common sense gun policies, including a federal ban on assault weapons and laws that would require criminal background checks for all firearms purchases, including those sold at gun shows and online.

Advocate For Public Health Evidence: Equity in Reproductive Health
The right to reproductive health (including access to life-saving screenings such as for cancer and STIs) is an equity issue that impacts all women, LGBTQ+ persons and low-income persons. As public health educators, students, practitioners and advocates, it is essential we support the right of all to receive comprehensive reproductive health care.
