Children will die from RFK Jr's anti-science policies
Yes, RFK Jr. wants to take us back to the dark ages. He wants to replace the scientific method with conspiracy therories and AI algorithms that maximize alarm! and make people click! and make him (and Trump) money!
He wants to throw the medical experts out and fill their seats with toadies who will do what their told (NYT, no paywall, 8/29/25).
He also wants to overhaul how doctors are paid (Politico, 8/30/25), which makes the doctors who want to stand up to him … nervous.
He wants to reduce the number of people eligible for vaccines, claiming that vaccines cause autism, which. they. do. not.
What could possibly go wrong if the general public no longer has free access vaccines? The possibilities are endless …
Remember when Trump secretly sent coveted Covid-19 testing machines to Vladimir Putin (BBC, 10/9/24). for personal use when they were in short supply here? Will we all someday have swear an oath of allegience to Trump in order to get a vaccine? Or, will we have to pay for our vaccines with $Trump?
Those are the kinds of things dictators do.
The question is: What are we going to do about it?
We cannot stand idly by. We have to call, call, call our congresspeople and show them we’re serious about holding them accountable! (Check out the three awesome ‘5 Calls’ actions below).
We also need to take to the streets in large numbers (on Labor Day!) and show them we’re on our way to the critical 3.5% of the population needed to overthrow a dictator (BBC, 5/13/19).
Let’s make some action happen, folks!!
Thank you for helping us save our democracy,

3 Actions You Can Take to Stop RFK Jr. Today
What will YOU be doing for your country this Monday, Labor Day?
There are literally 100’s of stand outs and protests happening across the country on Monday, Sept. 1st in honor of #laborday and #WorkersOverBillionaires. Join us at an event near you!
ORDER YOUR “Pass These 4 Bills in MA” POSTCARDS
This is ridiculous!
We’ve been asking for YEARS for the MA Legislature to pass 4 bills we need to protect our immigrant, trans and pregnant community members. They are:
Safe Communities Act – Keep local resources focused on safety, not ICE.
Dignity Not Deportation – End Trump’s cruel deportation pipelines.
Location Shield Act – To protect our privacy from bad actors who want to track immigrant, trans and pregnant people.
Corporate Fair Share Act – To ensure corporations pay their fair share to fund the things that keep us safe.
Here at the Freedom Writers, we’re strapping mad that they still haven’t done it yet. We want action now, for crying out loud!
So we’ve created a different kind of postcard campaign: We call it the “Pass These 4 Bills Postcards” campaign. We designed the postcard below, and we want EVERYONE in Mass to not just use these cards to write to their own 2 MA Legislators, many times, if necessary, but also give the postcards to as many MA residents as you can, so they can write them too.
Share them at Farmer’s Markets, action group meetings, church gatherings and stand outs … anywhere MA residents with beating hearts come together. (ORDER HERE)
Here’s the postcard front and back:
When you ORDER THEM, please make a donation to cover the cost of sending them to you. We’re trying to provide them to as many people as possible at cost.
Each packet of the “Pass These 4 Bills” postcards will come with complete instructions on how to find the addresses of your 1 MA Senator and 1 MA Representative and send it to them.
We plan to continue providing these postcards until all 4 of these bills are passed.
Let’s MAKE THIS HAPPEN, Massachusetts!
Thank you for helping us save our democracy.
