Physicians & Health Care Providers United Against RFK Jr.’s Nomination
Take Action to Protect Our Patients and Public Health
Doctors across the country are uniting to oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). His decades of spreading dangerous disinformation, undermining public health efforts, and promoting conspiracy theories make him wholly unfit to lead the nation’s most critical health agency.
Together, we can ensure decision-makers hear loud and clear that the medical community stands against this nomination. By taking action today, you can make a tangible impact and help safeguard the progress we’ve made in advancing public health, evidence-based medicine, and patient care.
HERE ARE FOUR WAYS YOU CAN TAKE ACTION NOW:
SIGN THE OPPOSITION LETTER
Add your name to the growing coalition of physicians calling on the Senate to reject RFK Jr.’s appointment to HHS. Every signature strengthens our message that his nomination poses a clear and present danger to public health.
EMAIL YOUR SENATORS
Your voice matters. Urge your senators to oppose RFK Jr.’s nomination and demand leadership at HHS that prioritizes science, integrity, and the well-being of our patients.
EMAIL THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (AMA)
The AMA has long been a trusted leader in advocating for public health and we must hold them accountable to continue this work. Encourage them to align their advocacy with physicians and patients by taking a public stance against RFK Jr.’s nomination, condemning the use of recess appointments as a means of sidestepping the Senate confirmation process, and withholding PAC support from U.S. senators who endorse his appointment.
EMAIL YOUR PROFESSIONAL/SPECIALTY ORGANIZATION
Professional and specialty organizations have a powerful platform to advocate for policies that impact health outcomes and influence decision-makers. Encourage them to align their advocacy with health care professionals and patients by taking a public stance against RFK Jr.’s nomination, condemning the use of recess appointments as a means of sidestepping the constitutional requirement of Senate advice and consent – and (if relevant) withholding PAC support from U.S. senators who endorse his appointment.
Why Your Action Matters
RFK Jr.’s nomination isn’t a matter of politics–it’s a public health emergency. As physicians and health care providers, we have a duty to stand up for our patients and the integrity of evidence-based medicine. By taking these four steps today, you’re joining a powerful movement of medical professionals dedicated to protecting public health and opposing leadership that threatens our collective progress.
Let’s make sure our voices are heard. Together, we can protect the health of millions of Americans and our communities.
If you have ideas for how we can more effectively urge the AMA or medical specialty organizations to oppose RFK Jr. please reach out to our team at info@committeetoprotect.org. If you have personal relationships within these organizations we encourage you to reach out to them directly as well and let us know how it goes.
