This document provides instructions for a health activism paper assignment. Students are asked to identify an existing public health issue in their own community, such as access to affordable housing, paid sick leave, or toxic clean-ups. They should discuss organizations already working on the issue and how they could contribute. Students should also consider how they would pitch the issue to local media and which government officials they would brief to advocate from a health equity perspective. The paper should be 4-6 pages following APA style guidelines and cite credible sources about the health issue and community.
