You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

How Should Health Care and Public Health Respond to the New US Administration? This Viewpoint discusses scientific, medical, and public health actions, including withdrawing from the World Health Organization, taken so far during the first week of the Trump administration.

"To condone policies that the profession knows will compromise healthβ€”or to remain silent and look awayβ€”is to be complicit in putting population health at risk"

To every university, every public hospital, every academic society: SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION. #medsky

The American College of OB/GYN’s website is now hosting the critical documents purged by the CDC

This is what every professional medical organization should be doing right now

Back in LA… surreal to be here so soon after the devastating fires. Heartbroken for our future. But there are thousands of students rallying for immigrant rights. Feels like yesterday I was marching with my daughters in 2016. To those students, I see you. Our future is brighter in your hands.
