April 8th Day of Action
On April 8, 2025, a coalition of labor unions, academic workers, patients, and patient advocates across the country came together for Kill the Cuts, a national Day of Action to raise awareness and put pressure on elected representatives to fight back against Trump’s attacks on research, healthcare, and higher education.
Trump’s attacks on NIH, NSF, and the Department of Education jeopardize medical progress in areas like cancer, viral pandemics, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, while threatening the jobs of researchers across the country. By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy.
Together, working people are fighting back. #KillTheCuts
