My name is Alyssa Fritz and I'm the Manager of Strategic Partnerships, Policy, and Research for @CARHEumn. It was a such a privilege to be with and learn from you all. I know last week's workshop was just the beginning of many more important conversations!

The same hospital that ignored my father's pain & pushed him out-I never saw him again. Failure to understand the institutionalization of racism in medicine will continue to leave Black daughters without their father's.

Daycare closed for COVID. My out of office message: I will be unable to attend meetings/answer emails as the US has systematically failed to protect young children and working parents. I will respond when my child is vaccine eligible, which may not be until 2023. #WomenInMedicine

As @ReproResearcher says, colorblind policies aren't neutral, they actually widen racial inequities. MN should follow FDA guidance that race/ethnicity be considered along with underlying medical conditions when prioritizing monoclonal antibody treatment.

Reading today’s @StarTribune a bit late but love this op-ed from @RRHDr and @EmedinaEduardo. Colorblind policy widens racial inequities!

MN families support paid family & medical leave! It’s time to pass during budget reconciliation @BettyMcCollum04 @Ilhan @RepDeanPhillips @RepAngieCraig @SenTinaSmith @SenAmyKlobuchar

Best wishes to @AllysonFelix as she competes in her fifth Olympic Games in Tokyo. We are grateful for her partnership and support of our CDC #HearHer campaign (https://t.co/uRJX5ohr1y), as well as her work to advance maternal health – she’s a true champion on and off the track 💜

The world is better off because of the work of this amazing scholar, Dr. @BrittneyButler_ , who is leading critical research on racism and pregnancy complications. Thank you for you all you do and CONGRATULATIONS, Dr. Butler! 🎉🎓🥂

[Brittney Francis, PhD,MPH @DrBFran]

I told myself I was coming back to Twitter as Dr. Butler. WELP!! Here we go!

Dr. Butler has entered the chat! So thankful for all the love and support from my family and mentors.

Continually in awe of @RuthForHouse. #mnleg

[Ruth Richardson @RuthForHouse]

Legislating in a pandemic, with the realities of systemic racism, & divided government is hard. There were many heartbreaking losses this session. This thread highlights the bills I chief authored that were signed into law. Starting with the Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth Act.

[Alyssa Fritz @afritzrd]

This has been one of my favorite bills since @Morrison4MN first presented it in HHS Policy when I was working on that committee in 2019. I could not be happier that it's finally passing this year. Thank you @Morrison4MN for your leadership on this! #mnleg

[Kelly Morrison @Morrison4MN]

Proud that my bill to exempt providers of prenatal care from being mandatory reporters of women who use substances during their pregnancy passed this year. They need care from providers, not punishment. #HealthyMomsHealthyBabies #ForAHealthyThrivingMinnesota

[Alyssa Fritz @afritzrd]

@madelinesgreene Hey neighbor! Please do! I didn't realize how much I was missing in my life by not being Twitter-connected to you but glad that has now changed!😄

[Swipe Out Hunger @SwipeHunger]

Thanks to State Sen. @AricForMN's leadership in passing #HungerFreeCampus in Minnesota, countless students will get the resources they need to thrive in college and ultimately graduate 👏

Thank you Sen. Putnam for standing up for and prioritizing today's students 🙌
