When calling your state reps and senators, consider asking how the recent cuts to federal public health workers will harm your community? If they don't know. Ask them to find out and get back to you.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.
