Many thanks to @OhioChildHosp, @GroundworkOhio for the opportunity to participate in today's #vote4ohiokids leadership forum. Kids can't vote, so it's up to us to ensure that their needs remain front and center.

HB 248 will allow people to decline vaccines with no documentation & allows non-documented opt outs in schools, potentially exposing kids to vaccine preventable diseases. This is a dangerous direction & I oppose this legislation! #VoteNoHB248
.@SenSherrodBrown: 'Come to my zip code, 44105, where we had the most foreclosures in the first half of 2007.
In these same neighborhoods, you’ll find higher rates of lead exposure, toxic pollution & infant mortality.
Our past is still determining people’s lives today.'
Let me be clear: American highways were too often built through Black neighborhoods on purpose—dividing communities, adding pollution, and making pedestrians less safe.
"For the community you serve, there is power in your privilege. Don't abdicate what you have. It's about creating space for others by using my platform and my space." @staceyabrams#AAPAdvocacy2021
Don't mistake despair for apathy: listening, having conversations, connecting the dots, making it transparent how systems work permits a community to find a solution and initiate change. More crucial advice from @staceyabrams#AAPAdvocacy2021
Yes, @staceyabrams -- as pediatricians we have an obligation to speak up not just for kids but also for their caregivers who may not be able to speak for themselves. Whole child health requires whole family health #AAPAdvocacy2021
