Dear #medtwitter #SoMeDocs, but @physicianwomen #WomenInMedicine #FemInEM in particular:
The coalition that did tons of Congressional civil disobedience against the health repeal bills (Housing Works, the Center for Popular Democracy, Ady Barkan etc.) is ...
... organizing a massive Washington, DC civil disobedience effort on August 1st. Physicians need to stand up and fight Kavanaugh's nomination. He's atrocious. He passed the litmus test of 1) willing to overturn Roe v Wade and 2) willing to overturn the ACA. Plus he's ...
... awful on voting rights, executive power, immigrant protections, and so much more. We need people to step up. Outside of their comfort zones. Put on their white coats and scrubs and risk arrest. We need to do this because millions of people will be irrevocably harmed by ...
... this one nominee's decades of likely horrific votes. If we truly are ethically obligated to act, if beneficence means more to you than just what's posisble in the exam room, if we have any ability to make it to DC, if arrest is safe enough for our careers and our ...
... own physical health, we MUST step.
So, will you ask people you know to consider going to DC on August 1st?
Will you find people with contacts at @prhdocs and @acog and @ACOGAction who might push these (small c) conservative organizations to embrace ...

Will you yourself join?
If you find anyone who will do this. Or anyone who will spread the word. Or have any other ideas. DM me.
Thanks!
Andrew

PS there are: ~1500 abortion providers in the US. Can we get 20 to show up? ~40,000 other OBGYNs in the US. Can we get 100 to show up? ~1,000,000 other doctors in the US. Can we get 100 to show up? Imagine them, in white coats and scrubs, risk arrest for reproductive justice.
See you there. If you need a place to stay, let me know.
