Empathy is a strength, empathy creates good public policy, empathy is how we better humanity, lack of empathy comes at a cost. Solving human problems with policy needs empathy to actually provide proven solutions. Because only when human are the outcome, do we get the solution.

The American people deserve a national healthcare system that works for this. This is a battle decades in the making, where now, we must preserve what we can of safety and public health information.
The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.
That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.
