Following House passage of the American Health Care Act and news that the Senate may soon take up similar legislation, we hope individuals and organizations will join Trust for America’s Health and our partners on Thursday, June 15th for a Virtual Advocacy Day in support of the Prevention and Public Health Fund.

As you know, the American Health Care Act would eliminate the Prevention Fund starting in fiscal year 2019.  Additionally, the President’s fiscal year 2018 budget proposes to further cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by an additional 17 percent. It is critical that we let Members of Congress know about your and your organization’s support of the Prevention Fund.

We hope you will take three quick but important steps today:

  • First, sign up for a Thunderclap to spread the word about the June 15th Advocacy Day;
  • Second, please RSVP for the Advocacy Day.  We will send you a reminder email about the 15th and include a link to a tool that will make it simple and easy to contact your Members of Congress by phone and via social media;
  • Finally, please forward this email to any and all colleagues who support prevention!

For any and all social media, please consider using #ProtectPrevention to underscore your support for prevention and public health. Please don’t hesitate to contact Jack Rayburn (jrayburn@tfah.org) with any questions or further details about how you or your organization can get involved.
