@RRHDr @TheConstelProj Let's discuss! Just passed HB 4052 out here in OR and our protocol to FIX it is just a part that is largely being missed. Enuf study re: how bad it is, let's get protocols in place to address, uplift and remedy #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis w/SPEED!

#heydan Could someone pls focus on what to DO about #Racismisapublichealthcrisis as well as the bad news? if we are really "looking for solutions" how abt posting some of them? This is our work and the whole city is suffering, let's look to ev'1's morale!

@TheStoryKGW My daughter + I r both #frontlineworkers n she raised a great point: we were the guinea pigs for the vaccs AND took care of you, who needs pots n pans at night to recognize us? Get the vacc bc lots of us are leaving d/t stress and frustration; more overwork!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@pedsmd2b David R Wms said, "they'll (CDC) never declare racism a public health crisis because then they'd have to do something about it. Now that they've declared it, what do YOU see being done? Collecting data on the problem is NOT enough. Reach out for our plan!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@pedsmd2b my nonprofit's campaigned for >15yrs for funding to care for folx in their communities where seeing clinicians of color IS mentorship, esp when the events are held in church and school parking lots. We asked CDC to declare racism a crisis to get that $, no <3

@michaelharriot Threats: "Don't make me come in there - dont make me get ugly", would work against a tornado! LOL

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

My daughter: "I don't get the antivaccers! We [HCPs} were the guinea pigs for the vaccines WHILE caring for them in hosps and clinics and are exhausted still doing it; what more do they want?" Who could've predicted this? #LovePatientsHateVirus

@hodakotb Hey, Hoda! It's PHYSICIAN assistant, no possessive! Common mistake, but great chance to correct it and PAs are doing amazing things beside this, would love u to hear about #HealthEquity from #Frontlineworker! Hit us up! You rock!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@Tiffany_L_Green Not just that! CDC has finally declared #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis as we wrote and asked 6yrs ago, but we need to call for ACTIONS and not just scholarship. We proposed our multitiered approach locally and like CDC,it's performative, superficial; we need $!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@SavannahGuthrie why so puzzled re: missing BIPOC? Its abt leadership. What's CDC doing abt #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis? nothing like COVID but cost is as (if not more) high? In @PDXprotests we know what it's abt, so reach out for ANSWERS! #dblstandard

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@DrESigston hoping for better and best for you all!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@DrESigston how are you all doing w/the virus over there?

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

#heydan how abt focusing on what TO DO about it? We've been trying to address this in OR for >10yrs in a nonviolent and health/trauma-informed and clinical approach. Racism will always be political w/o OTHER options for perspectives! Hit us up for solutions!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@TheStoryKGW Our nonprofit has been "proposing new ones" for >10yrs! We see #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis, CDC finally recognized, but has NO action steps like ours! This is lack of leadership, any wonder OR w/its sad history is behind on this? Offering to help @Newberg.

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@donwinslow We've been campaigning for ~10yrs for CDC to recognize #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis n now they have but guess what? Doing virtually nothing systemic about it! THIS is why folx protest n we'll keep seeing the violence until we DO something which we HAVE!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@DrBrittaniJ Another example of bizarre nature of #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis, why #RacismHurtsUSAll. @RochelleWalensky has finally declared it a #PublicHealthCrisis (tho 6yrs after we asked) but has no specific plan tho we've connected re: ours! Another example...

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@Maggie_Vespa @TheStoryKGW Didja know a health equity task force worked on their own time 4 >1yr last yr to address #RacismIsAPublicHealthCrisis, sent house bill 2337 2 the legislature which accepted the bill ONLY in word and NOTHING to do about it! THIS is why Newberg's kids r @risk!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@Maggie_Vespa @TheStoryKGW Hey Maggie, we have been trying to work w/PDX and its legacy of racism for years and tho folx are constantly asking what to do, our action steps have been ignored. If u really wanna see change we need to approach it CLINICALLY, as CDC has declared!

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@AngryBlackLady another example of how #RacismHurtsUSAll, these folx actually act like they believe in social Darwinism, that idea their own needs outweigh most if not all considerations including the vulnerable, which is how our global neighbors judge us. Clueless.

[Right2HealthNow @Right2HealthNow]

@zellieimani Thx for this question. This frontline work SO misses reading, now passing out in exhaustion ev night w/thoughts of our ppl dying disproportionately after I wrote @CDC 6yrs ago asking them to declare #RacismIsapublichealthcrisis and they refused. It's hell.
