United Nations recognizes global importance of physical activity in fighting non-communicable diseases.

Organizations that played key roles in developing the National Physical Activity Plan were part of the UN High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases held in New York City on September 19-20, 2011.

The four primary types of noncommunicable diseases are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, and account for 63% of annual deaths worldwide. Strong empirical evidence, much of which is cited in the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee Report, supports the benefits of regular physical activity in preventing and treating such diseases.

With non-communicable diseases disproportionately effecting those of lower socio-economic status, the political declaration that resulted from the meeting is congruent with one of the National Physical Activity Plan's guiding principles, to reduce health disparities across socio-demographic groups.

The Health Communicator’s Social Media Toolkit is now available online at http://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunication/ToolsTemplates/SocialMediaToolkit_BM.pdf.

The toolkit is designed to provide partners with guidance and to share our lessons learned in integrating social media into health communication campaigns, activities, and emergency response efforts. This guide provides information on getting started using social media—from developing governance to determining which channels best meet communication objectives to creating a social media strategy. An overview of popular social media tools, including blogs, video-sharing sites, mobile applications, and RSS feeds is included, along with a resource section and campaign examples.

Help Save Transportation Enhancements from Elimination

Good Afternoon,
For those of you on the National Partnership email list, you have likely seen this alert earlier today. Pardon the duplicative message, but this is an important effort where many voices in support are needed.

We have a serious threat in Washington D.C.
Senator Coburn (R-OK) is going to introduce an amendment to remove dedicated transportation enhancements funding – this is the main source of federal bike/ped funding for the past 20 years.

The vote could happen as soon as tomorrow, so kindly take a moment to contact Senator Feinstein and Senator Boxer to urge them to vote against the Coburn amendment and sustain dedicated funding for Transportation Enhancements. The link above makes it quick to send this message, and doing so allows voices in support of dedicated transportation funding to be heard in California.

Sincerely,

Jessica Meaney
California Policy Manager

The concept is that it's an aural version of the Harm Reduction Communication. It's a chatty radio show featuring the work and views of people in the harm reduction community.

Episode one features Paula Santiago of HRC,Jennifer Herrera Y Nava from AIDS Services of Austin, Phil Terry from Prevention Works and Cyndee Clay from HIPS.

Episode 2 is an extended interview with David Munar from the AIDS Foundation of Chicago talking about what the new National HIV AIDS Strategy means for drug users and
episode 3, which comes out next week, features Jeff McDowall from Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition, Sharon Stancliff talking about auto disable syringes (don't inject and drive!) and Joy Rucker from Casa Segura. Episode has an interview from the NYCHAN/VOCAL "No More Jim Crow" demo. Check it out!
