Defend Public Health asked for folks to tell us why they are public health voters.

From experiencing polio to an encounter with a rabid bat, here’s what some of them had to say.

Staunton rallied in front of the Staunton Health Department and had a lovely conversation with two of their public health unsung heroes who were thrilled we were rallying to support their efforts to keep us all safe.

Want healthcare/public health? Vote for Beth Macy.

The states forming their own health alliances is not secession—it is self-defense. When the CDC is captured by ideology and stripped of credibility, the republic fractures. Science is not negotiable, and public health cannot survive propaganda. #ScienceOverLies #DefendPublicHealth

California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

RFK Jr.’s parody of public health—where intuition trumps science, stethoscopes become contraband, and polio is rebranded as “resilience”—is not comedy but catastrophe in waiting. Democracy itself sickens when leaders replace evidence with vibes. #ScienceOverConspiracy #DefendPublicHealth

Photo of a street in downtown Atlanta. The sidewalk on either side is packed with people holding signs and protesting. Photo of a sign: It shows a cartoon uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in bright pink surrounded by sprays of green leaves. The sign reads "No country for old men" in bright pink font. Photo of the "rainbow crossing" in midtown Atlanta. It's a zebra crossing where all the white stripes are replaced with rainbow colors. The transgender colors of white, pink, and blue have been added as well as brown and black. Photo of a woman dressed as a handmaid from hand maid's tale. She is wearing a long red dress and cape with a white bonnet with a long brim that hides her face. She is holding a sign with a picture of woman in 1960s style cartoon. She is wearing a green collared shirt, an apron, and is standing in front of a red cooking pot that has an arm sticking out of it. She is holding a bloody knife in one hand. The caption reads "If we eat just one billionaire, the rest will fall in line"

Atlanta you gave us hope today. Huge thank you to all those who came out to protest. And to those who couldn't come but were with us in spirit. Keep up the pressure. Get ready for Mayday.
