Ask Congress to fund $761 million for CDC Injury Center
The final FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations agreement includes full funding for the CDC Injury Center at $761 million, with no proposed cuts to Injury Center-funded programs! This represents a major victory for the injury and violence prevention community that we should collectively celebrate!
While this is a significant milestone, the agreement must still pass the Senate, where some opposition is expected. Their vote is expected to happen the week of January 26.
Please urge your Members of Congress to vote in favor of the final FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education agreement. You will find an updated call script and email template below.
