Target: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, President of the United States, U.S. Congress
Goal: We call on the Department of Health and Human Services, the White House, and Congress to enact meaningful reforms to our food, farming, and healthcare systems, prioritizing public health over corporate interests and ensuring access to nutritious food, cle
The draft 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA) report, promised as a roadmap to improve the health of America's children and families, falls short of the urgent action needed. While the report acknowledges the dangers of poor diet, chemical exposure, lack of physical activity, and overuse of medications, it fails to propose strong government action, instead recommending more studies and awareness campaigns.
Chronic diseases are on the rise, fueled by ultraprocessed foods, pesticide-laden crops, and cuts to vital health and nutrition programs. The Trump administration's proposed 40% cut to the NIH budget and the elimination of $1 billion for food banks and local food procurement further threaten the health of millions.
The MAHA report should have called for decisive reforms to food and farming policies, robust investment in public health, and regulation of harmful chemicals and ultraprocessed foods. Instead, it prioritizes industry interests and delays real solutions.
We demand that our leaders act now to protect public health, support local farmers, and ensure that every community has access to healthy food, clean air and water, and affordable healthcare.
Key Demands
- Restore and increase funding for the National Institutes of Health and nutrition programs, including food banks and local food procurement for schools and hospitals.
- Implement strict regulations on pesticides, herbicides, and ultraprocessed food ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup.
- Prioritize public health over corporate interests by investing in preventive care, nutrition education, and access to healthy, affordable food.
- Enforce science-based standards for school and hospital meals, sourcing food from local, sustainable farmers.
- Establish transparent, community-led oversight of air and water quality, and hold polluters accountable.
- Guarantee affordable access to healthcare, including mental health and preventive services, for all Americans.
