Congress Prevents Shutdown, Passes Zika Funding

Congress passed a short-term spending bill to keep the government funded through Dec. 9—legislation that also includes $1.1 billion to fight the Zika virus. This bipartisan deal provides much-needed relief for Zika response efforts, and it reflects our industry’s ability to influence change at the highest level. Thanks to all who joined us in months-long advocacy to urge lawmakers to act on this important issue.
