This #TransDayofVisibility, my message is simple: we will not let them steal our joy.
Trans and non-binary people deserve to live full, authentic lives free from fear or discrimination – and my office will never stop fighting to make that a reality.

🚨The White House just issued an executive order to close the U.S. Department of Education. Eliminating ED or moving IDEA to another agency will be a step backward in serving those with disabilities.

Excellent piece by my colleague, Zach Rossetti on Section 504 and its importance for protecting the rights of students with disabilities in light of the current lawsuit attempting to limit its impact

Student 504 plans are in jeopardy. Please read why it matters and what to do by my colleague Zach Rossetti:

Research into “safe vaccines” is going to fan vaccine fear because it suggests that there is a reason to reopen this shut case.
In the long term, this risks undermining the legitimacy of science because it suggests that science is *whatever* you want it to be.

We are saddened and angered by Governor Newsom’s comments about transgender youth participation in sports. Right now, we need our elected officials to stand by the courage of their convictions.
The Governor’s comments are hurtful, and out of touch with our shared values as Californians.

In case you missed it, there is now a disclaimer at the top of the YRBS website…
Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org
YRBS datasets for 2019, 2021, and 2023 are back up on the CDC website, along with documentation and SAS and SPSS programs for importing them and applying variable and value labels.
If you or someone you know has had a particular research project suspended by recent actions at IES, please get in touch either by DM or by replying here.
There are journalists who'd like to report on this.
Thanks, Jerry!

To Acting Secretary Fink and Acting Director Monarez: We are writing on behalf of the 1,400 members of the Association of Health Care Journalists, to protest the removal of vital public health data from the CDC website, including survey results from the Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System, the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index, and AtlasPlus, an interactive CDC tool with years of data on social determinants of health and diseases including HIV, TB, and STDs. These data are used by journalists every day to report stories about public health. At a time when the rise in chronic illnesses and harmful behaviors among young people is at the top of the national agenda, the YRBS data on smoking, vaping, drinking, eating, exercise, and sexual behavior are crucial for reporters trying to inform the public about these issues. The county-level Social Vulnerability Index data is important to inform reporting on communities’ resilience and ability to respond when faced with disasters such as wildfires and severe weather. Even the temporary removal of such data will impair our members’ ability to give the public essential and timely health information. We request the immediate restoration of sites that have been taken down in recent days, and that the agency not take down other pages with critical health data. Sincerely, Felice J. Freyer, president Gideon Gil, vice president Andrea Waner, interim executive director Association of Health Care Journalists
An urgent message from the nation's health journalists:
The OSF is available for preservation of datasets that need saving.
