The Anti-Racism in Public Health Act of 2025 would establish two new programs within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address racism and police violence as public health issues. The bill creates a National Center on Antiracism and Health to conduct research on how structural racism affects health outcomes, develop interventions to dismantle racist systems, and establish at least three regional centers of excellence in communities of color. It also establishes a law enforcement violence prevention program to research police brutality and its health impacts, standardize data collection on police-related deaths and injuries, and fund community and academic research on reducing police violence. The legislation affects public health agencies, researchers, state and local health departments, and communities experiencing health disparities. Both programs would receive unspecified federal funding as Congress deems necessary, with ongoing requirements for public reporting and coordination across federal agencies.
