USAID funding cuts and changes at NIH under RFK Jr. are literally killing people.
USAID funding cuts have significantly harmed disease prevention efforts and outbreak response globally. HRRC contributor Sylvia He’s new article discusses the threat of disease spread and deaths due to lack of access to HIV medications and vaccinations.

Received a RIF on February 23rd. Received my termination letter yesterday. This is the “reason”. My anger and frustration keeps building and I’ll continue protesting the injustices we are facing in this country under the Elon Trump administration.

Yesterday, we were finally allowed back into the #USAID building to gather our things. They gave us 15 minutes within an hour and a half timeframe. I held it together until I exited the elevators to a crowd of supporters clapping and cheering us on. Thank you for being there ❤️ #protest #resist

It’s finally happened: I received my #RIF letter this morning. My time at #USAID has come to an end. I’m still in shock at how quickly things unraveled. Now, lifesaving aid is no longer available to millions worldwide. Such a travesty. I know I’ll continue to fight and #resist the fascist regime.

I’m one of the lucky still at USAID. It’s been challenging for us all with the not knowing if/when we’ll be let go. I, personally, remain inspired by those standing up not only for USAID but for what is right. Sharing a toolkit and message of support. bit.ly/40Sh4fJ

I attended the #50501Protests in DC yesterday. So inspiring to see all these passionate people demanding their rights and the rights of others be protected, along with accountability for those violating them. Never give in to fascism. #Protest #Resist

The fact that this is even a thing is so sad. I truly don’t understand how this administration thinks it can boss around other countries and rename a piece of geography. Get over yourselves. #GulfofMexico #Google #RESIST
