☎️Daily Action, Friday, October 17, Investigate Trump Administration’s Extrajudicial Killings ☎️ MOC👇🏼 https://docs.google.com/.../1He3zd8rNqyB5nSX.../edit... 📚 BACKGROUND: 5 civilian vessels have now been struck by US forces in the Caribbean, with a total death count of 27. https://5calls.org/.../trump-venezuela-extrajudicial-murder/ 📱Senators/Representatives 1️⃣Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to express my concern about the Trump administration's repeated military strikes on civilian boats in international waters. These attacks lack legal authority, are killing people without due process, and highlight this administration’s lawless use of military force. I ask that [REP/SEN NAME]… [CHOOSE 1-3 options]: *conduct public investigations into the legal authority of the attack, *support a War Powers resolution to terminate these unauthorized strikes and block this administration's attempt to broaden their military power, *call for the resignation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, *call for the resignation of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, *support articles of impeachment and move to convict Trump for his repeated defiance of the law. 🎤EVENTS Top of BHM Indivisible Public page Events or More for links

🗽US AID SAVES LIVES!! 🛟
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has supported critical investments in conflict prevention, economic growth, peace building and investments in human development through cutting edge education and health programs.

⚛️WELCOME TO SCIENCE & HEALTH MONDAYS⚛️ USAID - Strategic engagement and Diplomacy Worldwide 🗽The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has supported critical investments in conflict prevention, economic growth, peace building and investments in human development through cutting edge education and health programs. 🌎Furthermore, USAID was critical to strategic engagement and diplomacy across the globe, mainly in lower income countries, to strengthen human relationships and build strategic alliances. In its totality this has proven of high importance for establishing US trade partners and maintaining a competitive edge with China. 💰Much of the USAID budget (representing LESS THAN 0.5% of the total US budget) is dedicated to supporting improvements in health care and services that serve to promote global health security and well-being. ✂️Since its elimination as an agency, we know the following: 🔥Elimination of USAID has further taken the U.S off the global playing field and diminishes our global strength and ability for advancing strategic interests. The work of USAID has always benefited the US taxpayers, contributing to farmer profitability and strategic influence around the globe. 🔥The health and medical programs that have been eliminated 1️⃣ negatively affect profitability of US businesses; 2️⃣ put at risk the progress on critical health areas like HIV, TB and malaria which in turn influence their ability for economic growth and trade with the US 3️⃣ medical networks that were established to track and prevent the spread of disease across borders have been significantly diminished 🧑‍⚖️USAID was created by law and cannot be unilaterally abolished by the executive branch, but this action has moved forward impacting US livelihoods and countless lives at risk worldwide. 🏛️Congress must act now to restore these vital programs and prevent further abuses by the Trump administration. ❤️‍🔥In order to address these elements of US security and standing in the world we ask that you do the following: 🆘USAID staff have been reduced from 14,000 to 300 people eliminating the foreign assistance sector- support the restoration of USAID functions in global health programs and research to promote our country’s safety, security and standing 🗣️Contact elected local and national officials to reverse the catastrophic action of withholding Congressionally designated funds for foreign assistance programs that clearly benefit US interests 🪧Join advocacy networks and provide community education to mobilize citizens around foreign aid issues 🎓Support coalition building with faith groups, universities, and nonprofits 💵Promote public awareness around the benefits of foreign assistance and health and recognition that as a country we spend well under 1% of our total budget on related issues 🗳️Support and vote for candidates that prioritize the importance of global engagement and the value that our investments in human health bring to our national security and standing as a great nation in the world 🕊️If action is not taken the US long-standing reputation in the world will be much reduced and vacuum exploited by China and other global rivals as well as harming many bipartisan priorities.

🛟HPV VACCINES SAVE LIVES🛟 🚩Reduced HPV infections: Since the vaccine was introduced in the U.S. in 2006, infections with the HPV types most often linked to cancer and genital warts have dropped by 88% among teenage girls and 81% among young adult women. 🚩Decreased cervical precancers: The vaccine has also led to a 40% reduction in cervical precancers caused by the most dangerous HPV types among vaccinated women. 🚩Persistent infection: High-risk HPV infections that are not cleared by the immune system can persist for years and cause cells in the cervix to become abnormal. This process is called cervical dysplasia. 🚩Interfering with cell growth: High-risk HPV proteins interfere with tumor-suppressing proteins in cells, promoting uncontrolled cell division. 🚩Progression to cancer: Over years or decades, cervical dysplasia can progress to cervical cancer if not detected and treated.

We are just three weeks from a potential government shutdown if Congress fails to pass a budget bill by September 30th. This will result in health care premiums and costs spiking for everyone.

🚨 We need to pay attention to what’s happening at the CDC. This isn’t bureaucratic drama — it’s a political takeover of our public health agency. The fallout will hit vaccines, outbreaks, and crisis response.

Our health is on the line. We can’t look away.
Tweet from user @donmoynihan overlaid on an image of the CDC headquarters. The tweet criticizes a statement made by CDC leader Rochelle Walensky, discussing historical resistance to fascism saying "Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud." Logo of the CDC in the background with a social media post overlay from Judy Minkoff, PhD, featuring a quote about the importance of science and political freedom at the CDC by Dr. Deb Houry, Deputy Director for Program and Science/Chief Medical Officer. Full tweet reads: "For the good of the nation and the world, the science at CDC should never be censored or subject to political pauses or interpretations." - Dr Deb Houry, Deputy Director for Program and Science/Chief Medical Officer Tweet from Henry M. Rosenberg saying: "Anybody who wants a Covid vaccine should be able to get it and insurance should cover it. Trump is politicizing Covid like he did in 2020 when his actions led to a million people dying in the U.S." Social media post showing a collage with an image of a person receiving a vaccine with another individual's face in the background, overlaid with text discussing the distribution of the COVID vaccine in the U.S. from "The Daily Beast" news outlet.

I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade.

We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration.

History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.
