Public health professionals object to suppression of views within American Public Health Association, and punishment of Professor Hagopian in the struggle for health in Palestine
25 Sept 2025
Dear Dr. Benjamin, APHA Executive Board members and Governing Council members,
We write with concern about the reputation and integrity of our American Public Health Association. As APHA weathers the U.S. political maelstrom around Israel and Palestine, we affirm the importance of remaining strong and unified in our role as protectors of public health, human rights, and our members. This includes safeguarding the rights of our members to disagree with U.S. foreign policy so we can fulfill our mission of championing health equity, both here and globally. Professor Amy Hagopian, a longtime APHA member, has been singled out for her activism and criticism of Israeli policy.
Recent events lead us to raise grave concerns regarding the Code of Conduct case launched by two anonymous complainants against Professor Hagopian last December. In September of this year, the complaint culminated in the suspension of Professor Hagopian as a member of APHA, cancellation of her conference registration, and removal as elected chair of the International Health Section.
The charges center on two matters:
1) Professor Hagopian participated (along with three dozen others, including Jewish members of the APHA) in a non-violent visual protest at the 2024 annual meeting in Minneapolis. The following month, an anonymous complainant asserted the conference protest was intimidating to Jewish members, as participants donned red latex gloves (signifying “blood on our hands”). Subcommittee members themselves, like Professor Hagopian, acknowledged they had never heard of “red hands” being an antisemitic trope or symbol (indeed, the Anti-Defamation League’s catalogue of 200 antisemitic symbols does not include any mention of “red hands”).
2) She helped clarify the purpose of the International Health Section’s Palestine Health Justice Working Group by drafting and circulating its mission statement. The complaint claimed it was a violation of APHA policy and the Code of Conduct for Professor Hagopian to send the mission statement email to the members of the Working group, which said, “there is no need to respond to this email if you support the mission and wish to remain on the mailing list. If you do NOT support the mission, please reply with that information.”
The mission statement was written at the suggestion (in a 3/4/24 email) of Mr. James Carbo, chief of staff at APHA, after Working Group members were intimidated by anonymous hateful phone calls, experienced doxing at their academic institutions (many members are students), and worried about their safety as they spoke up in a hostile national climate around the war on Gaza. There were no objections to the mission statement, and no one was excluded from the Working Group on the basis of the statement.
The Code of Conduct subcommittee provided no written statement in advance of its closed 40-minute zoom meeting with Professor Hagopian in June 2025. She had no opportunity to prepare for the meeting, question her accusers, nor even know who they were. The Code of Conduct subcommittee explicitly chose not to conduct an investigation, as the Code of Conduct would have provided, but instead recommended Hagopian’s immediate suspension from APHA through the end of 2026.
Indeed, to this day, Professor Hagopian has not been presented with evidence beyond the brief summary of the opinions of the complainants to support the subcommittee’s findings that she "created a hostile environment for Jewish participants.”
Antisemitism is a real threat. Addressing the hateful (and growing) scourge of antisemitism requires we remain truthful about the problem and its manifestations, and avoid the misuse of the concept. As Jews and non-Jews, we urge APHA to acknowledge that criticizing the State of Israel is not an act of antisemitism.
As the Code of Conduct provides, Professor Hagopian wrote a response, including dozens of statements from APHA leaders and other members who know Professor Hagopian’s work (including many Jewish members), showing the findings had no basis. She also submitted all relevant emails and statements surrounding the creation of the mission statement for the Palestine Health Justice Working Group, including prior assurance from APHA staff that creating “rules of engagement” for the group was fully appropriate.
Neither the code of conduct subcommittee that made findings and recommendations, nor the Executive Board’s Governance committee charged with reviewing them, addressed any of the evidence presented in Professor Hagopian’s 11-page response letter or the 36 letters of support from APHA members and leaders. Neither body explained why it rejected that evidence.
We are very concerned this situation represents a capricious singling out of Professor Hagopian and violates fundamental values of due process, fairness, and APHA values. It permits anonymous and unsubstantiated charges of antisemitism to unfairly discipline a respected, accomplished, and dedicated leader within APHA and shut down legitimate concerns about Palestinian public health in the wake of starvation and obliteration of the health system in Gaza.
In line with our concerns, we undersigned past or present leaders and members of the American Public Health Association urge the Executive Board to immediately reverse the suspension of Professor Hagopian’s membership, reinstate her to her elected APHA leadership role, and affirm that criticism of Israel or U.S. policy regarding it is not antisemitic.
