NCGHA, Member Representatives, and Students from UNC Discuss How the Closure of USAID and the Stop Work Order have Effected North Carolina
On February 18, the NCGHA was honored to host a roundtable for our member institutions to meet with Congresswoman Deborah Ross, the US Representative for North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District.
In addition to highlighting the top-tier global health work coming out of her district, this meeting served as an opportunity to put a spotlight on the immediate impacts that the Stop Work Order has had on employment in North Carolina, on the health and wellbeing of individuals globally, and on our country's national security.
Representative Ross was sympathetic to our community's messages and encouraged us to continue collecting stories of impact that can help decision makers understand the toll this is having on our state.
If you or your institution have been impacted by the recent Stop Work Order and you would like your story amplified, please reach out to us at members@ncglobalhealth.org - we will be happy to work with you to ensure decision makers hear your voice.
