Join CSPI on October 15th 3:00-4:00 PM ET for: "One Year of MAHA: Assessing the Strategy Report and Its Impact."
September marked one year since the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission released its strategy report outlining recommended actions to end childhood chronic disease in the United States. One year later, the administration is claiming victory, but have they really made progress?
Join us virtually for a discussion with staff from CSPI, STAT News, and the Union of Concerned Scientists as we analyze the administration’s impact on childhood chronic disease over the past year. We’ll review the administration’s progress on the MAHA Strategy Report’s recommendations, fact-check MAHA’s top “wins,” and provide an overall assessment of this administration’s impact on public health more broadly. We’ll share resources and tools you can use to stay informed about the administration’s actions and their impacts on public health and scientific integrity.

Jules Barbati-Dajches is an analyst for the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. In their role, Dr. Barbati-Dajches conducts research and analyses to show the ways in which science and equity are politicized and the impacts of such politicization. Their research supports advocacy campaigns that show the necessity of protecting independent science to produce reliable data and evidence-informed policy. As one example, Jules led the development of UCS's Attacks on Science Tracker, an analytical platform that documents the second Trump administration's interference in federal science.
