The Safe States Alliance, the convener of the Keep America Safe Coalition, sent a letter to CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez on August 6, 2025. The letter highlights the critical role of the CDC’s Injury Center, particularly the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) program. Noting recent bipartisan congressional support for full funding of Injury Center programs in FY 2026, they urge Dr. Monarez to take immediate action to prevent further delays in the apportionment of FY 2025 funds for key programs.
