ATLANTA — Georgia Democratic Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock and Congressman Hank Johnson joined protesters outside the CDC offices in Atlanta on Tuesday.
The two lawmakers spoke to the crowd, encouraging them to continue standing against mass layoffs within the federal government.
Warnock was joined by U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson in spotlighting the massive cuts to the CDC and the impact it might have on health in the United States and abroad.
Johnson called the CDC and its employees “the gold standard for public health globally.”
“Thank you for your contributions in making the world a safer place,” he told the crowd.
