2/ This is inconsistent with the constant support we've received from the Murphy administration throughout their time in office and it comes at the worst possible time. There is a federal war on science and the @njgvrc.bsky.social needs to help fill the void. We cannot do that with this cut.

For 20 years federally funded research on gun violence was essentially nonexistent. It wasn't until 2019 that the CDC received funding again to study this public health crisis. But with Musk's DOGE layoffs, that progress is on the chopping block. This isn't just about data. It’s about lives.

"The dismantling of CDC’s injury data collection team is nothing short of a public health catastrophe. CDC’s WISQARS is a crucial tool that informs our understanding of America’s gun violence epidemic. Without it, we’re cast into the dark as to the scope of the number one killer of kids."
