This Weeks Actions:
It's been another head-spinning week for all of us that care about our country and the world.
Out of the many issues facing us we've decided to focus on the RFK Jr.'s cancelling of grants for vaccine development.
Say:
RFK Jr. made the most dangerous health decision, cancelling $500 million in grants & contracts for the development of mRNA vaccines. He is putting our lives in danger, and hurting stopping promising cancer and infectious disease treatments.
(if you have a specific story, such as undergoing cancer treat now, please share)
Kennedy must be stopped! I ask that you demand Kennedy's immediate resignation.

2) Please, if you have the energy, also call or email our congressional leaders listed above to plead for Gaza and Ukraine. With 45 choosing to meet with Putin on US soil for thinly veiled peace talks (that are probably nothing more than deciding how to give parts of Ukraine to Russia), we need to register our displeasure.
