Public Health Law Center

The Public Health Law Center is committed to co-creating healthier, more equitable communities with partners and allies. The roots of racism and other forms of systemic bias and oppression are deep. Laws and policies have contributed to significant disparities by failing to protect, and often actively harming, groups who are socially and economically marginalized. The Public Health Law Center strives to center equity across their work in support of policy change that leads toward a more just and equitable world.

The Public Health Law Center collaborates with others to reduce and eliminate commercial tobacco, promote healthy food, support physical activity, and address other causes of chronic disease. The Public Health Law Center partners with Tribal health leaders, federal agencies, national health advocacy organizations, state and local governments, planners, researchers, attorneys, community coalitions, and individuals working on public health issues to create healthier communities around the country.
