Breaking today: Columbia School of Public Health publishes major story on impacts of casinos and lotteries






The Columbia School of Public Health published a major national story today about the massive public health impacts of government-sponsored casinos and lotteries. Investigated by Elaine Meyer, it spotlights how predatory gambling is harming millions of Americans and the communities they live in. You can read it here on the Columbia School of Public Health website (all of the buttons to share it are on the right side of its front page.)

For much of the last twenty-five years, most in the public health community in America have been willfully silent on this issue but thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of so many of you in our movement nationally, that has been changing. Today's story is evidence of our collective efforts.

Please read the story and then share it with all of your personal social networks along with anyone you know in the health care and public health fields. And make extra certain to share it with all the public health officials in your community, county and state.

Change happens when we each do our job in making it happen. Keep pushing.

Thanks for your work.

Best,

Les
