“As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.” —UC President James B. Milliken

The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from @UCLA would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth and reduce educational access. Stand with UC to protect our vital mission: www.universityofcalifornia.edu/get-involved...

📢 March is #NationalKidneyMonth! #SockItToKidneyDisease and take on the #850Challenge to raise awareness for the 850 million living with kidney diseases. Challenge yourself to 8,500 steps, 8.5 miles, or 8.5 minutes of activity. Share and tag @asnkidney.bsky.social !

We urge the Administration and Congress to reconsider and roll back these actions immediately so potential cuts can be made in a thoughtful and safer manner. To do otherwise may result in absolute tragedy for the American people.

@ucsfhealth.bsky.social Dr Ian McCoy is a co-author of this important document and Dr Kathleen Liu is chair of the @asnkidney.bsky.social KHG Oversight Committee
