Tuesday, June 3 - Demand Access to Updated COVID Vaccines / No Snap Curfew on Chicago's Youth / Attacks on the Rule of Law Town Hall 6/5
Partner Action: Oppose the Big Beautiful Bill
On May 20th, top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials announced changes to the approval process for updated COVID vaccines that would greatly limit access to many Americans. The new guidance is part of Secretary of Heath and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s. effort to remake America’s health policy in his vision. A long time anti-vaccine advocate, Kennedy has made multiple comments questioning the safety of vaccines.
While the COVID vaccine will still be available for adults 65 and older and for children and adults with certain underlying medical conditions, the new guidance calls for new randomized, clinical trials to determine its efficacy. These trials, not deemed necessary by the CDC as recently as 2024, are expensive and time consuming for drug manufacturers, likely delaying vaccine deliveries and raising the cost to consumers.
The FDA and HHS should follow the science, but instead are playing with the health and safety of the American public.
👉 Demand your representatives forcefully speak out against this rogue and anti-science vaccine guidance.

Script: Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling on [SEN/REP NAME] to speak out against the FDA decision to limit COVID vaccines to those over 65. The FDA and HHS should follow the science, but instead are playing with the health and safety of the American public.

Partner Action: No Snap Curfew on Chicago's Youth
City council members are attempting to push an unconstitutional snap curfew that would give police more power to criminalize young people. We already have enough laws targeting youth; what’s needed is investment—schools, youth jobs, after-school programs—that help young people thrive.
Instead of more policing, which often leads to punishment, we should focus on solutions like expanding youth jobs, which reduce violence, and programs like Peacebook that promote peer-led violence prevention.
