CDC Shooting

 This information came from a good friend -

"So many of us in Atlanta are reeling from Friday’s shooting at the CDC. My friends and neighbors who work there have already endured such stress over these past few months, given drastic programming cuts and many who lost their positions. Trump is wanting to cut the CDC budget in half next year. 

 The misinformation and outright lies and conspiracy theories about vaccine safety being put forward by this administration, especially RFK Jr., are fueling mistrust and seem to have directly contributed to this shooting. CDC workers endured the terror of a targeted attack, and a police officer with a young family is dead as a result of this horrific event. While terrorized CDC workers were on lockdown late into the night, RFK Jr. woke up Saturday morning and went fishing. I repeat, he went fishing.

I am outraged by all of this, and I hope that all of us can turn our anger into productivity and support for these dedicated public health professionals. "



My friend also provided the contact information - 

One actionable way to do this is by sending postcards to the following politicians(or send an email or call!).  DEFINITELY send messages to any/all of these folks especially if they represent your district!
