Thank Senate Democrats for Standing Up to RFK Jr.

We applaud Senate Democrats for holding Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accountable during his confirmation hearing for Secretary of Health and Human Services. By pressing him on his long history of spreading vaccine misinformation, his wavering stance on abortion rights, and his conflicts of interest, they demonstrated their commitment to protecting public health, scientific integrity, and reproductive freedom.

Kennedy’s refusal to fully disavow his past harmful claims—such as falsely linking vaccines to autism and downplaying the dangers of COVID-19—shows why he is unfit to lead the nation’s health department. His evasions on financial conflicts and potential mass firings of federal employees further underscored the risks his leadership would pose. Senate Democrats stood firm, exposing his contradictions and refusing to let him rewrite his record.

We need leaders who will fight for science-based health policies and stand up to dangerous conspiracy theories. Sign this petition to thank Senate Democrats for defending public health, reproductive rights, and ethical governance. Their strong stance sends a clear message: our health and safety should never be compromised for political gain.
