50 Op-Eds in 50 States

DPH is working to place 50 op-ed pieces in all 50 states shining a local light on the termination of hundreds of NIH studies and the decimation of our nation’s research and health infrastructure. So far we have 24 people committed to writing columns, meaning we have a lot more to go! As of last week, we still need people to write and submit op-eds in these states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

If you have any personal experience with the impact of these devastating cuts, this is the time to tell your story to your community. And if that feels daunting, don’t worry, we can help! We recently held a training on writing op-eds and letters to the editor, and you can now watch a recording of the presentation. Here’s how to view:
