#MEAction is organizing a protest of the CFSAC Shutdown at HHS HQ in Washington, DC on Friday 14 Sept :

ALERT: #MEAction has canceled the in-person protest on Friday 14 Sept due to the hurricane expected that day. It will be re-scheduled at a later date.

The "Virtual" protest listed above will take place, however.

@Ben HsuBorger, do you have phone and e-mail contacts for HHS Secretary Azar yet?

Reply from @Ben HsuBorger:

We're holding off on a coordinated email and phone campaign because of Hurricane Florence, but we'll mobilize for this at another time soon. You can still send an email to him now if you want though.

What we are asking people to do is take action on Social media and help get the narrative out there that CFSAC mission has not been accomplished and the community stands in solidarity and opposition to this. We need to build momentum.
