Action Alert: Public Health Funding in Jeopardy!  House vote on Thursday 

 

 The House of Representatives plans to consider the budget on Thursday, May
11th.  Without intervention to restore funding, public health programs will

remain on the chopping block.   

 

Tell your Representative to oppose the House budget resolution, which lacks
sufficient funding for public health.  Please contact your member of
Congress by sending an electronic letter to their office by clicking here:

programs.  We are specifically targeting the following moderates:
