Infertility is more common than we realize—it’s just not talked about enough. I hope this project contributes to changing that. If you’re eligible, please consider participating or sharing the flyer.

Wrapping up my first shift as an EJP faculty support for the Northwestern Gaza Solidarity encampment. An exciting day, and I’ve never felt more connected with my students. Heading home before my shift tomorrow, but first, let me share some things about the camp.

Patients who also don’t have access to pain medications

18,219 killed in 47 days.
Take a minute to process that. 387 people a day, 162 of them children.
To reiterate: 162 children are killed a day. That means every 9 minutes, a child is killed.
I will make sure to remind everyone, everyday, of Israel's atrocities, aggressions, and genocide of my people (funded by & with the support of the US).
Every waking day, I will remind everyone that Israel committed war crimes & violated international law, until my last breath.
18 days of Israel's bombing of Gaza.
Not a single hospital admin or physician I work with has so much as acknowledged what is being done to Palestine, let alone considered how this might be affecting me, let alone asked how I'm doing, let alone offered to actually support.
