Thank you @SenatorHassan for your your brilliant work in advocating for kids to prevent gun violence and remind us that “it is up to us, the adults, to meet them in this moment.” #EndGunViolence

[AAP Peds Trainees @AAPSOPT]

"I refuse to accept that we cannot pass any legislation that addresses gun safety because it is 'too hard.' We have done it before and we can do it now." -@SenatorHassan to @AmerAcadPeds #EndGunViolence #NeverAgain #AAPLegCon

[AAP Peds Trainees @AAPSOPT]

"When the assault weapons ban was enacted in 1994, gun massacres decreased by 37%... the following decade [after it expired], gun massacres skyrocketed 183%."
-Peter Hyun, Chief Council for @SenFeinstein. This is an unacceptable public health issue #EndGunViolence #NeverAgain

[Angela @phalange17]

Inspired, as always, by @LisaCostelloWV and the work she’s done for kids on the local, state, and federal level—she is an AAP mentor for me!

“Education is an equalizer in the pathway out of poverty.” Children of immigrant families deserve to follow their dreams just like any other child. 90% of Americans support the Dream Act — why doesn’t congress? Great keynote from @MarielenaNILC, JD Executive Director of @NILC_org

[Shannon Brockman, MD, RDN, FAAP @ShannonBrockman]

Thanks to @MarielenaNILC from @NILC_org for sharing your story. Immigrant kids need pediatricians to share their stories with Congress. #tweetiatricians: Look out for opportunities to comment on proposed legislation. https://t.co/d4cb9cEeQe

[AAP Peds Trainees @AAPSOPT]

"I believe that embracing and welcoming immigrants and refugees is not only the right thing to do, it is who we are as a nation... Especially when we are talking about children." -@MarielenaNILC, Exec. Director of the National Immigration Law Center #AAPLegCon #PutKids1st

[Brittany Bruggeman, MD @BBruggMD]

In Florida, there has been a 9.6% decrease in WIC applications due to fear about the proposed "Public Charge" policy for immigrants. This rule prevents lawfully present children from having access to vital healthcare, food, and basic necessities. @NILC_org #AAPLegCon #PutKids1st

About 400 doctors commit suicide and burnout for physicians is 1.5 x more then the general population so this is a topic we need to address. @AACAP #AACAPLC18
