Sign the Petition to Reinstate Dr. Mary Bassett as the FXB Center Director, here: tinyurl.com/reinstatemarybassett
The NY Metro chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is outraged by the recent news of the termination of Dr. Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH, from her role as Director of the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University. As a former board member and current advisory board member of our chapter of PNHP, Dr. Bassett has been central to the work of the organization and to the movement for single payer healthcare for decades. She is a well respected and admired leader in the fight for health equity and racial justice. No employer should retaliate against a worker for their beliefs, especially when those beliefs are a principled expression of their professional ethics and human rights values. We stand with Dr. Bassett and condemn her harmful, politically motivated termination. Pictured: Dr. Mary Bassett at center in black and mother Priscilla Bassett in brown, speaking at the press conference announcing the 2018 NYC Council resolution in support of the NY Health Act with retired Assembly Member Richard Gottfried and supporters behind them.

Universal health care in NY has been so close for so long, but always one or two votes stood in the way. Now's the time.

This Senate decision is about to make health care access in America WORSE than we can imagine.

Health insurance premiums will surge, some families may end up paying more than HALF of their income for insurance, millions will lose coverage and thousands will die.

We deserve better. #M4A

The first reports of what would eventually be called AIDS and its causative agent identified as HIV were published in the MMWR in 1981 alerting health care and public health systems across the country. A tremendous loss for public health.

#HandsOffNYC
Screenshot of AMNY article "Hands Off NYC" Coalition forms to resist potential Trump crackdown on city" with photo of press conference red background with black text reading Hands Off NYC with image of the Statue of Liberty statement: hands off NYC American cities are under attack by the Trump administration. Instead of investing in schools, hospitals, and public services, taxpayer dollars are being spent to send National Guard troops and ICE agents into our communities — ripping families apart and targeting working people. New York City has been directly threatened. We are a coalition of unions, faith leaders, and community groups, standing together in nonviolent resistance. Just as people in cities across the country have stood up to these attacks, we will too. The Trump administration claims this is about “crime,” but the crime rates in each of the targeted cities have been going down, not up. What they do share is strong, multi-racial, union power — and city leadership that refuses to bow down. This is not about safety. It’s about punishing communities that fight back. We stand in solidarity with all cities that have already faced military intervention. We believe tax dollars should strengthen schools, hospitals, and safe neighborhoods — not build detention centers and tear families apart. Occupying our cities is not “law and order,” it’s an assault on our rights and values, including our First Amendment rights to the press, to free speech, and to peaceably assemble. We pledge to organize together, build local power, and stand in solidarity with every city facing military intervention. Our cities and our people are our greatest strength.
