"Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s latest dismal jobs report. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July: Women lost 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000."

Trump’s Terrible July Jobs Numbers Only Hurt Women
And the number of women who have left the workforce since January is more than double the number of men.

Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost) RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.
A call script for state electeds regarding vaccination schedule: 

While your mileage may vary depending on which state/region you live in, this is an opportunity to call your STATE electeds (state senator, state assemblyperson, and governor) with the following outline:
-RFK recently fired ACIP members
-His goal is to replace them with an antivax agenda
-This will harm millions of kids while impacting seasonal covid/flu/RSV boosters for adults
-Something about your state's position or population needs (CA is a leader in progressive health policy and needs to protect its residents)
-As my elected, urging you to push your STATE Health Human Services Secretary to maintain the current childhood vaccine/respiratory booster schedule and proactively stock inventory for both
-Insert personal story here if you want. I include details about my wife's health conditions and how 2x/year covid boosters protect us so we can have a pretty normal life.
