Take Action: Proposed Call to Action on Walking from The Surgeon General

Take Action: Proposed Call to Action on Walking from The Surgeon General.

WATCH
Watch the film brought to you by Every Body Walk!, powered by Kaiser Permanente, and see why it’s important to be physically active. Walking is a simple activity that can be easily woven into everyday life — walk to school, walk to transit, walk to lunch, walk after dinner, walk the dog.

WRITE
Share detailed comments about what you would like to see in the proposed call to action on walking by posting your input to the Federal Register.
