Across federal agencies, thousands of pages of public health information have quietly disappeared from public websites. This includes essential data from the NIH, CDC, and FDA—on everything from clinical trials to reproductive health, LGBTQ+ issues, and vaccine guidance. AcademyHealth has joined a lawsuit to restore access to these vital resources and defend the integrity of public data—regardless of who’s in office.

AcademyHealth is stepping up. They’ve joined a nonpartisan legal effort to restore access to these public resources and protect the role of evidence in decision-making. But they can’t do it without support.
