GET INVOLVED

Last week, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) instructed CDC to cut more than $600 million in funds already given to programs in the states of California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota, citing “waste and mismanagement” and saying the grants “no longer reflect agency priorities.” These politically-motivated cuts will endanger vital programs that help keep people healthy. Please write your member of Congress today!

DHS and ICE are threats to public health through violence and inhumane treatment of detainees. DPH has created a letter that you can send to your elected representatives telling them not to fund these dangerous organizations.

Defend Public Health joins Nurses for America,National Nurses United, the American Association of University Professors and many more organizations across the country to demand accountability from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE as the nation reels from another brutal murder at their hands, bringing the known 2026 death toll to 9. With a vote on funding bills coming soon in the U.S. Senate, we urge all of our members to call their senators today to urge them to block funding for DHS and ICE until measures are adopted to hold both accountable
