At a public town hall, former CDC communications employee Sarah Boim delivered a powerful speech after her termination. She explained that her role was to make public health communications more efficient—ensuring life-saving information reached the public quickly and clearly. Despite doing her job effectively, she was fired, along with many others, as part of what she described as a politically motivated attack on public health.
In a recent video published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the growing Fired but Fighting movement—led by former CDC employees and their supporters—gathered at Senator Jon Ossoff’s town hall to demand accountability and advocate for public health protections.
