Congrats to our friend and partner Rachel Bloomekatz!

More strong leadership from Minnesota's inspiring Attorney General Keith Ellison, who demanded transparency for the millions of secret documents that tell the true story behind the opioid epidemic. A win for accountability! @AGEllison @PHealthLawCtr

[Attorney General Keith Ellison @AGEllison]

In today’s resolution of MN’s and other states’ lawsuits against Purdue Pharma/Sackler family, Purdue will make 30M+ documents public online forever that show how they deceived us. Now no one will ever forget what they did and no one can ever do it again. https://t.co/n49im0H762

Opening up Juul's documents to public scrutiny: a critical part of Juul settlements. Thank you, General Stein.

[NC Attorney General @NCAGO]

The order will also create a document depository where the public can access most of the documents from Juul that our office secured through litigation. This ensures transparency for the public and helps us make sure another youth vaping epidemic doesn't happen again.

[NC Attorney General @NCAGO]

BREAKING: Attorney General @JoshStein_ is speaking on a groundbreaking agreement with Juul: "NC is now the first state in the nation to hold Juul accountable for its rule in the youth vaping epidemic." Watch live: https://t.co/NWasVGKc9C

Here's exactly why the Biden Administration must end the systemic racism of FDA policies that let Big Tobacco use menthol to target and kill Black smokers. See the video from my amazing colleague Natasha Phelps. #TimeToBanMenthol #BanMentholNow

[Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids @TobaccoFreeKids]

The FDA must reject Juul’s application to keep selling the very products that caused the youth e-cig epidemic. Juul is seeking a green light to continue addicting kids with massive doses of nicotine and appealing menthol flavor. @FDATobacco must stop them. https://t.co/46CzOUtmKN

One of the greatest American heroes of all time. Rest in power, John Lewis.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This November, Americans will have the opportunity to embody Lewis’ spirit, take up his mantle and carry on his enduring legacy by exercising their right to vote.

Alabama, America is watching. Edmund Pettus was a traitor to the United States of America and the Grand Dragon of the KU Klux Klan. Rename the bridge.

Black health champions sue FDA, demand long-overdue end to menthol cigarettes that industry uses to target Black youth. Dr. Phillip Gardiner, Carol McGruder and Dr. Valerie Yerger: Game changers! So inspired by their years of heroic leadership. @aatclc @PHealthLawCtr @ASH.org

Committing ourselves to do more to dismantle the structures and systems that make racism a public health crisis.

Black lives matter. Black health matters. Anti-racism work is #publichealth work. Read our full statement on the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and the protests against #racism around the world: https://t.co/Sqk5YIUlRd

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Racism is a public health issue. The AAP condemns violence, especially when perpetrated by authorities, and calls for a deep examination of how to improve the role of policing. Systemic violence requires systemic response. https://t.co/YJ8rZHeyzB
