Stop the Cuts to Public Health Research

The Issue

Right now, the Trump administration is proposing deep cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — two of the most trusted institutions protecting our health every day.

These aren’t just numbers in a budget. They represent life-saving research on cancer, Alzheimer's, infectious diseases, maternal health, and so much more. They support scientists working on the front lines of pandemics, medical breakthroughs, and public health programs that reach every community in America.

Slashing funding to these agencies puts lives at risk. It weakens our ability to respond to future health crises and undermines decades of progress in medicine and disease prevention.

We need leaders who invest in health — not gamble with it.

Tell Congress: Reject the proposed cuts to NIH and CDC. Protect public health research before it’s too late.
