<DIV align=left><FONT size=2>With a fearless look at a highly charged subject, <STRONG><EM>Straightlaced</EM></STRONG> unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens. From girls confronting media messages about body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they aren't gay, this fascinating array of students opens up with brave and intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all of our lives. Produced by Academy Award-winning Director Debra Chasnoff and Groundspark Media. </FONT><A href="http://groundspark.org/our-films-and-campaigns/straightlaced"><FONT size=2>http://groundspark.org/our-films-and-campaigns/straightlaced</FONT></A><FONT size=2> </FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>How do you see public health in the world around you? Health takes many forms, and public health serves many functions. The environment in which you live, work, and play affects your health. Public health is the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health within groups of people, from small communities to entire countries. With this photo contest, we are interested in different ways to show public health and healthy (or unhealthy) communities. Awards will be presented on Tuesday, 4/6. Cash awards go to the top 3 winners of the photo contest. The event will take place at the Hollywood Theater in NE Portland. Winners will be announced at around 6:30, followed by a screening of the film "Straightlaced: How gender's got us all tied up."

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><STRONG>APHA Health Care Reform Update</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>...after months of hard work by you and other APHA members and advocates, the House of Representatives passed the Senate health reform bill. President Obama is expected to sign the bill in the coming days. <BR><BR>Because of our efforts, the passage of the bill is a huge victory for pubic health! Not only will the bill extend health insurance coverage to an additional 32 million uninsured Americans, provide subsidies to help individuals purchase health insurance, prevent insurance companies from discriminating against individuals with pre-existing conditions and strengthen the Medicare program, it will also provide billions of dollars of funding for public health and prevention when it is fully implemented. In fact, the new Prevention and Public Health Fund created in the bill will provide $500 million for prevention, wellness and public health activities beginning in 2010.<BR><BR>The House also passed a reconciliation bill which contains a number or improvements to the Senate bill. That measure now moves to the Senate for action - we'll be in touch with you about urging your Senators to support that measure in the coming days.<BR><BR>Thank you again for you role in making this historic vote a reality!</FONT></DIV>
