At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, last Thursday might have been one of the most important days in physical activity policy and advocacy in our nation’s history; when the @PAAmovewithUS hosted its first symposium at the @APTAtweets Center in Washington, DC.

Physical activity can help decrease anxiety and depression. We need the PHIT Act introduced in Congress. Tell your legislators to co-sponsor the PHIT Act. Send this pre-written message to gain their support:
