Pass emergency Zika funding now
I am writing to urge you to immediately approve $1.1 billion in emergency financing to research and fight the Zika virus. Earlier this year, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus a public health emergency, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed its link to microcephaly, a serious birth defect of the brain, in infants born to mothers who contracted the virus while pregnant. It’s time for Congress to put people over politics and fully fund Zika prevention efforts now. Women and their children -- whether they live in South America, Central America, the Caribbean or the United States -- should feel protected from threats caused by Zika.
