We are raising an alarm about the effect of USAID funding cuts on essential population and health data. ssrn.com/abstract=513... @pete-m-m.bsky.social @srhgroup-itm.bsky.social @bhensen.bsky.social @jilmolenaar.bsky.social @onykepe.bsky.social @cbpolis.bsky.social @manueladr.bsky.social ocial
🚨 What happens when vital health data disappears? The suspension of USAID funding for the DHS Program threatens global health monitoring, policymaking, and life-saving interventions. We must restore funding before this loss impacts millions. Share with your network! www.itg.be/en/health-st...
No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.
We know the stop work orders are bad, but my fabulous colleague @bethsully helped us @guttmacher quantify how bad it might be. www.guttmacher.org/2025/01/fami...
