When physicians join the labor movement to organize, we shift our locus of advocacy to a solidaristic one that is committed to collective liberation - for ourselves, our patients, and our communities. Public transit is public health. @cirseiu

Public transportation IS a public health issue! Philadelphia’s public transit, @SEPTAPHILLY, is facing major cuts, reduced services, and higher fares.

Yesterday, Dr. Spencer Chen joined community members and elected officials to call on Pennsylvania to make sure SEPTA is funded.

Thank you for all you do @RepKrajewski ! 💪🏼

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

We’re going all in for SEPTA! Special shoutout to Dr. Spenser Chen who serves patients in West Philly with @cirseiu and spoke at our rally this morning.

This fight is about the safety and care of working people who rely on a bus, trolley or train to get around.

Neoliberalism is done. It’s either progressive populism — supporting single-payer healthcare, tuition-free college and trade schools, and raising the minimum wage — or watch the GOP continue to win long-term.

Your move, Democratic Party.

Over the past few weeks, @cirseiu has unionized nearly every medical resident and fellow in Philadelphia! This is a game-changing victory for these workers and for the people and communities they care for. Solidarity forever. #PhillyIsAUnionTown

[Rep. Roni Green @RepRoniGreen]

On the Nephro service @YaleIMed, I think often of how my dad's journey w kidney dz shaped what it means to me to be a doc able to see the whole picture of a patient's life, not just their lab values. Ask about the scars, stains, & smiles--the portrait of life outside the hospital

“Doctors shouldn’t be involved in politics”

Doctors got political on tobacco and lung cancer deaths decreased.

Doctors got political about seatbelts - and cars are no longer the #1 killer of children, guns are.

Now it’s time for doctors to get political about guns.
