NY cuts more than 200 public health jobs following loss of federal funds
Thursday, 3 April 2025 () People march in protest against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the Trump administration on March 29, 2025, in New York City. Activists and community members protested on the 38th anniversary of ACT UP/New York, marching to a Tesla dealership against cuts by the Trump administration, led by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The themed rally, "Death By 1000 Musk Cuts," aimed to gather 1,000 participants, each representing an employee who lost their job in programs impacting public health and health care. Thousands of employees across the federal government have left their jobs, been put on leave, or been fired as a part of the government-gutting initiative of the Trump administration and billionaire Musk.
Officials said the job losses were necessary even as New York and other states contest the funding cuts in court. [ more › ]
