Lost my CDC contract after a visit from DOGE. I feel like I’m in the dirt (or TBH eating a pint of ice cream on a couch crying). But here’s the thing: Pushing people down—especially those with heart, purpose, and love for public service—doesn’t mean they stay down. It’s literally against their DNA.

CPHA stands with Government of Canada officials in opposing US policies that deny the diverse realities of gender identity. Gender inclusivity is essential for equity, health, and human rights. Everyone deserves to live authentically and access care without discrimination. #GenderEquality
