Campaign for the Public's Health

A bold national effort to protect, strengthen, and transform public health for all.

The Campaign for the Public’s Health is bringing together partners and allies from every sector to stand up for healthy people and healthy communities.


At a time when programs, policies, research, funding, and the very systems that keep our communities safe are under threat, we cannot afford to stand still. We must act—boldly and together—to protect essential services, defend equity, and rebuild a public health system that truly serves everyone. 


This Campaign is about more than short-term defense; it’s about driving lasting change and building a stronger, fairer, and healthier future for all.

A New Narrative Resource to Advance Public Health and an Inclusive Democracy

The narrative detailed in this playbook — Protecting the public’s health is part of creating a free and fair society, and it depends on all of us — is designed to build public and political will for the public’s health. It leverages extensive pro-democracy narrative research and testing, adapted by public health advocates across the country. The playbook includes a narrative and messages, along with tips for customizing and using them to advance your public health objectives. 

Our Vision

A future where everyone has what they need to be healthy and thrive through:

  • Strong, well-funded, and sustainable public health systems

  • Bold advocacy at every level—national, state, and local

  • Authentic, trusted, community-centered partnerships

  • Equity, racial justice, and anti-discrimination at the core
