Communities nationwide depend on HHS-funded programs to prevent disease, improve health outcomes, & respond to public health threats.
The proposed OMB rule would create uncertainty, add red tape, and undermine evidence-based funding decisions. Congress must permanently block it.

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. 👜
The proposed OMB rule would shift decision-making authority to political appointees, undermining congressional intent, community input, and longstanding funding processes. Congress must permanently block it.

If you’ll abandon your convictions because someone slighted you personally … you never really had any convictions in the first place.

March of Dimes joined @healthfunding to advocate for the need for fully funding and staffing healthcare agencies and programs vital to the health of all Americans, esp. our moms and babies.
Congress has passed the FY26 Labor–HHS bill, preserving key investments in public health, biomedical research, and front-line services. Thank you to appropriators, staff, and CHF members for your work.
Our advocacy continues as we look ahead to FY27!

2025 tested us with unprecedented hurdles, but our members never wavered. From restoring canceled research grants to educating Congress, we kept health funding front and center.

Over the weekend, career experts and scientists at HHS were let go—a move that undermines the foundation of our public health system.
These professionals are vital to keeping Americans safe.
CHF calls for this decision to be reversed. static1.squarespace.com/stat…

We just met with staff of @SenJohnHoeven (where we also met Earl the Bison) as part of a Coalition for @healthfunding day on the Hill to make clear: public health funding must reflect the scale of our nation’s challenges. No cuts. #FundHealth
CHF members met with 30 Republican offices in the House and Senate to emphasize that cuts to public health programs have real consequences. We’re working to ensure lawmakers understand what’s at stake. #FundPublicHealth
CHF members are on Capitol Hill today meeting with Senate and House Republicans to advocate for strong investments in public health. We’re urging lawmakers to protect essential funding in the appropriations process. #FundPublicHealth
Today, the Trump Administration released further details on its FY26 budget proposal—one that threatens Americans' health, weakens our public health defenses, and slashes critical programs. Congress must reject these cuts.
