Defend Public Health Launches New Website

DefendPublicHealth.org Is Now Live

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the destructive effects of Trump administration attacks on public health and medical research continue to grow, Defend Public Health has launched its first website at defendpublichealth.org. The site includes information about the all-volunteer network and its current campaigns aimed at fighting administration attacks on proven, science-based health policies and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s continuing public health malpractice.

“We’ve been amazed at the outpouring of donated, volunteer labor and expertise that put this site together,” said DPH Communications co-chair Elizabeth Jacobs. “This is going to be a long, difficult fight to protect our nation’s health, and I hope this new site will help more people to get involved.”

Jeff Calderone, CEO of Elevated Third, which built the site at no cost to DPH, said, “Few issues are more important than bringing clarity to complex public health issues. At Elevated Third, we are proud to donate our Drupal expertise to build Defend Public Health’s new website -- giving thousands of scientists, clinicians and advocates a place to help us protect evidence-based public health policy.”

The new website is now live at DefendPublicHealth.org.
