The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

World Health Network graphic on a dark background. Top text: “whn.global” and “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.” Large headline: “Public health communication done right.” Below are three overlapping public health social media posts. The first, from Durham Health NC, reads: “It’s very important to stay home & away from others if you’re sick. (Even if it’s not COVID-19. No one wants to get sick with a cold, flu, or any other virus either!) But we know that sometimes staying home is not an option, so: If you have to go out, take steps to protect yourself and others.” The second, also from Durham Health NC, reads: “Which of the following people can develop Long COVID? A. People who are old or have other health conditions. B. People who are young and have no other health conditions. C. People whose COVID-19 was mild or had no symptoms. D. People who had severe COVID-19 and were hospitalized. E. All of the above.” A green check marks “E. All of the above.” Below: “Anyone can develop Long COVID. Avoid Long COVID by avoiding COVID-19, and talk to your doctor if you have new or long-term symptoms after having COVID-19.” The third, partially obscured, is from Washington State Department of Health, dated March 5, 2026, with the headline: “Measles remains a growing concern in Washington as it surpasses 10 cases in 2026.” Bottom text on the WHN graphic: “A few health departments keeping COVID-19, masking, and respiratory protection in the conversation with clear, practical public health messaging →”World Health Network graphic on a dark background.
