Protect life-saving medical research by defending the NIH

The Trump administration's reckless executive orders are severely disrupting the National Institutes of Health, delaying critical medical research projects and jeopardizing future funding that could lead to breakthroughs against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes. These policies undercut America's global leadership in biomedical research for the sake of tax cuts for the wealthy. Slashing the NIH's budget by $4 billion and blocking grant approvals will kill scientific advancement that could save countless lives. With projects on hold and funds frozen, the future of innumerable labs and jobs is cast into doubt. The NIH's work underpins virtually every major drug approved in the last two decades. Dismantling this premier institution is an assault on public health that impacts all Americans. What do you intend to do about this issue?
