“As leaders of the nation’s largest local health departments, collectively serving nearly 50
million people across America’s cities, we are committed to providing our communities with 
every opportunity to support and improve health.
“We are united behind a simple message: get vaccinated.
“Vaccines have eradicated devastating diseases and saved millions of lives. They keep 
classrooms safe and schools open. They allow children to spend time with friends and enjoy 
their favorite activities. They help parents and caregivers work to support their families.
“Despite this extraordinary success, vaccination rates are declining in many parts of the United 
States, and deadly outbreaks of diseases like measles and polio are becoming more frequent. 
We are deeply troubled by the repeated false claims about vaccines from too many federal

US nuclear stockpile agency to furlough hundreds amid shutdown
Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to cities, over the objections of state and local leaders, is an abuse of power. It’s not about public safety - it’s about stoking fear and suppressing dissent. It’s a blow to the Constitution. It’s authoritarianism.
Wishing a bright and joyous Diwali to all those celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world. Diwali serves as a reminder that in these dark times, we must fight for freedom, speak truth to power, and champion justice for all.
