![A screenshot of a script from indivisible org that says,
"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].
I’m outraged that the Trump administration is pushing us into war with Venezuela. They’ve escalated military pressure and taken over Venezuela without a clear plan for transitioning power. All without authorization from Congress.
Your constituents do not want another endless war. We do not want more violence where US servicemembers and civilians are put in danger, just to serve Trump and his Big Oil cronies.
Congress must reassert its war powers. We’re counting on you to stand up to Trump and put a check on his power grab immediately.
Thank you."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jootkerr5coetq3y6fcbftit/bafkreihaji43yosi4f3zkgdicnpu46sc7ib6qswucadb4jx5elbiyhvbkm@jpeg)

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s
