A group of more than 1,000 current and former Department of Health and Human Services employees released a letter on Sept. 3 demanding Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s resignation.

The letter's release comes after Kennedy's agency has faced controversy around recent actions like cutting funding to mRNA vaccine development and a dispute that led to the White House's firing of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez.

The Sept. 3 letter, which is addressed to Kennedy and members of Congress, argues the secretary "continues to endanger the nation's health."

"Our oath requires us to speak out when the Constitution is violated and the American people are put at risk," the letter says. "Thus, we warn the President, Congress, and the Public that Secretary Kennedy’s actions are compromising the health of this nation, and we demand Secretary Kennedy’s resignation."
