“Transgender children, like all children, just want to belong. Taking away opportunities to foster that sense of belonging harms our state’s children and has no place in Indiana.”

@AmerAcadPeds @staceyabrams Humility says "I can do this, but I'm not the only one." Self-effacement says "I didn't do this, or I can't do this" even when you know you can. We need to stop being self effacing--believe in your skill and your power. #AAPAdvocacy2021

Thank you @staceyabrams for your inspirational talk at #AAPAdvocacy2021. "If we take care of the whole child, we create a better world for all!"
I'm ready to educate - advocate - agitate for kids! @IND_AAP @AmerAcadPeds

“Leadership can be lonely...some days, you look out and ask, ‘where is the calvary?’ The calvary is right here! They’re all around you.” -@priteshgandhimd

A reminder that we’re a part of a collective even in our individual advocacy efforts #AAPAdvocacy2021

"You will never be in the wrong for putting kids first. You will always be on the right side of history." Inspired by today's closing talk by @priteshgandhimd at #AAPAdvocacy2021 to advocate relentlessly for kids with a simple message. @IND_AAP @AmerAcadPeds

[Kat Duncan, MD @DrKatDuncan]

Don't be afraid of 'simple.' You can be relentless with a simple message. @priteshgandhimd

"Advocacy means you are creating conditions for a child to believe in him or herself....Advocacy doesn't have to be dazzling or sparkling...it happens in our own backyards...just that one child is worth it." @priteshgandhimd #AAPAdvocacy2021

Sometime you just need to say the message loud and clear

“Trans girls are girls.”

Thank you Dr. Stoddard

Huge takeaway from the session on advocating against anti-transgender legislation:
Even if you lose the fight against anti-trans legislation, your advocacy for trans youth is both visible and valuable. The kids see our support and that matters. #AAPAdvocacy2021

Remember to send a message even if the votes are against you.

We will send the message to the kids in need. “We are losing the battle. But we are with you for the war.”

It’s always about the kids

Ready for my next session at #AAPAdvocacy21 - Marshalling, Mobilizing, and Messaging at the State Level: Anti Transgender Legislation. It is heartbreaking that we need this session in 2021, but I'm glad to learn from my colleagues at @AmerAcadPeds.

[Jason Yaun, MD @JasonYaunMD]

This has been a powerful and inpsirational panel in so many ways. “Never doubt that pediatricians can change the world.” @michaelwarrenmd #AAPAdvocacy2021 Thank you all so much for sharing!

I miss being in DC among my @IND_AAP and @AmerAcadPeds friends, but being in slippers with my own tea and puppy isn’t too bad either! #AAPAdvocacy2021 #NationalPetDay

[Emily Scott, MD IBCLC FAAP (she/her) @PedsDocScott]

Climate change is fundamentally a health issue. We see the effects of climate change on our pediatric patients - pediatricians need to help lawmakers understand that protect kids' health, we have to protect our climate! #AAPAdvocacy2021

“You like no other can tell children’s stories as they go through the pandemic because you see it every day...and your impact is so important because you know how to break things down to explain them to families.” @AAPDelMonte

[Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd]

“Your training matters. Your expertise matters. And your impact is crucial.” @AAPDelMonte at #AAPAdvocacy2021
And that, in a nutshell, is why it is so vital for pediatricians to advocate for children. Locally, statewide and on a national level. The voice of pediatricians matters!
