We need to preserve antibiotics for our health today, and tomorrow.
The Keep Antibiotics Working (KAW) Coalition fights against the spread of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs." Formed in 2001, KAW is a coalition of advocacy groups that joined to ensure that untreatable superbugs resulting from the overuse of antibiotics on farms do not reverse the medical advances of the past century.

Our accomplishments
The food you eat today is safer due to--in part--the work of KAW and our coalition member organizations.
