Applaud WA Health Orgs for Defending Public Health Data

We applaud the Washington State Medical Association, Washington State Nursing Association, and the Washington Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics for taking bold and necessary legal action to protect public health data from political erasure.

By suing the Trump administration over the sweeping deletion of vital federal health resources, these organizations are standing up for science, transparency, and patient care. Their lawsuit sends a clear message: public health cannot be compromised by ideology or executive overreach.

Thousands of pages of guidance on pregnancy risks, childhood health, opioid-use disorder, and disease outbreaks have disappeared from federal websites under President Trump’s executive orders. These deletions directly threaten the ability of health professionals to treat patients, researchers to make breakthroughs, and families to access trusted information.

This fight isn’t just about restoring websites — it’s about protecting the foundation of modern medicine and ensuring health care workers have the tools they need to save lives.

Add your name to thank these Washington groups for defending science, transparency, and the health of every American. Their leadership is public service at its best.
