The idea to write this guide & share our love for & excitement about reproductive health advocacy happened while attending 2023 CLC. So fitting that it’s published right ahead of this year’s CLC.

Thank you to @ACOGAction & the best writing team @aliceychen18 @CCrifase and Kate!

It’s crucial that health care professionals at all career stages get involved in protecting reproductive health care—especially the next generation of ob-gyns. We’re proud to share a new advocacy guide by medical students, for medical students. Learn more: https://t.co/D6VlRUqerY

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

This bravery and authenticity is why I am particularly proud to vote for Zohran

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

I'm currently reading a comparison of health systems globally. There are about 4 sentences that really sum it up.

1/4: “The United States is the only developed country that lets insurance companies profit from basic health coverage”

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island & New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Ive spent a lot of time as a physician in countries all over the world

I’ve seen kids die of diarrhea, Ebola, tetanus, and malaria

Healthcare in the U.S. is definitely a mess

But “sickest country in the world” is doing a lot of work here

Public health protects us all — often quietly, behind the scenes. Now, it needs our voices.

Eight former CDC directors and I, spanning Presidents Carter to Trump, share why recent actions put America’s health security at risk.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

NINE former CDC Directors spanning every administration from Carter to Trump, have issued a rare public rebuke of RFK Jr., warning of the harm his rhetoric and attacks on public health is doing. Their message: this is a time to rally to protect the health of every American.

I had a VERY naive perception of DV until I interned at a DV shelter. Babes I’m TELLING YOU, if you think DV is a black and white situation, you don’t know shit about DV. DV lives and thrives in the gray.

@SasQuatchamo1 @rickperlstein 1. Living in the US undocumented is not always a criminal offense. 2. If they were attending their court dates and following due process, then they were not in fact, violating immigration law.
