Dispelling Trump Administration Disinformation About the Dietary Guidelines for Americans

After a year of relentless attacks on the health of Americans from the highest levels of government, Defend Public Health believes it is critical to not just fight back against those attacks, but to articulate a positive vision for what U.S. public health can and should be in the future. In our view, we can't just rebuild what has been broken. We must build something better, more expansive, that truly gives everyone in the U.S. access to what they need for a healthy life.

Defend Public Health has filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit filed against RFK Jr. by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, and three other health organizations.

RFK Jr. is demolishing the US vaccine program and must be stopped.

Defend Public Health member Mary Canales, PhD, RN shares her thoughts on the attacks on public health, and why it is time for medical professionals to speak truth to power.
