Dear Chair DeLauro, Chair Murray, Ranking Member Cole and Ranking Member Blunt:
"The undersigned 178 members of the CDC Coalition and other supporting state and national organizations urge you to include at least $11 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s programs in the FY 2023 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill. Strong funding for CDC is critical to supporting all of CDC’s activities and programs, which are essential to protect the health of our communities. Due to years of underfunding, many CDC programs have not received the resources that are needed to address the many health challenges we face as a nation, resulting in many of CDC’s most effective prevention programs not reaching all states."
