Let's focus on a brighter future for our youth. We can change their life outcomes by addressing the issues that can lead them into the criminal legal system, such as ending the school-to-prison pipeline.

Honoring Indigenous cultures is crucial. However, Indigenous communities face economic disenfranchisement, hindering access to necessities like housing and healthcare. Let's champion policies for #EconomicJustice.

@YNHH hosted a press conference with city and state officials Tuesday promoting the CT Baby Bonds program, designed to raise awareness for parents of eligible newborns. CT Baby Bonds will set aside funds for each baby born in Connecticut whose birth was covered by HUSKY.

[Destiny Tolliver, MD, MHS @destinygtMD]

In this paper, I along with my co-authors (@KatieNasher, @ambrosehwong, @mollymarkowitz, @drkrissyy, Leah Robinson, and Laura Cramer) highlight that not only are there racial disparities in physical restraint, but those disparities are actually WIDER among girls… 1/

[ACOG Action @ACOGAction]

Today’s @US_FDA approval of the first over-the-counter contraceptive is a critical step toward allowing Americans to take control of their bodies, their health, and their futures. Our statement to come. 1/2

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

We applaud today’s @US_FDA decision to approve over-the-counter birth control pills. Making them available over-the-counter will help reduce barriers and provide adolescents with another option for accessing contraception.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[CT Voices for Children @CTVoices]

Today #CTBabyBonds officially goes into effect.

Now, for every baby born whose birth is covered by HUSKY, the state will invest $3,200 towards their futures.

Approximately 15,000 babies per year will be eligible!

[ACOG @acog]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling deals a severe blow to people of color and could worsen future patient care in the United States. Extensive evidence shows that diverse health care teams save lives by reducing health disparities. Read our full statement: https://t.co/Irbvs5owRm

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

AAP is deeply concerned about the impact of today’s Supreme Court ruling on admissions programs and its impact on the future of the physician workforce. https://t.co/PmWYHshE28

#Juneteenth is a both celebration & annual reminder of our country's failure to reckon w/ its history of slavery.

While we cannot erase it, we can repair harm.

If there is any hope of attaining equality for all, we needs to have a serious discussion about #reparations.
