People's CDC

The People’s CDC is an independent public health advocacy and health justice group that serves as a watchdog on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and broader public health systems. It aims to make accessible science communication widely available, highlight public health failures, and build collective support for safer communities, a stronger social safety net, and robust public health infrastructure.

The organization publishes regular COVID-19 Weather Reports and The People’s Health Briefing, covering COVID-19 and other public health concerns. Its website offers practical resources on testing, masking, isolation, indoor air quality, ventilation, COVID safety at protests, and safer in-person gatherings. It also provides toolkits, webinars, public comment and advocacy materials, statements, and information on healthcare and disability rights. Through its Speaker’s Bureau, experts and volunteers can speak with organizations about COVID safety and related issues. The People’s CDC also coordinates campaigns with labor and community groups, invites public action, and offers a shop featuring items such as T-shirts. Its work emphasizes community care, equity, and collective action.
