Speaking up takes courage. Imagine being 10 yrs old & bravely making a contribution to your 5th grade history class on the topic of slavery. Then imagine being shut down by your teacher. This incident happened to my daughter, Iris, earlier this school year. She wrote about it. 1/

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities. This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

Come learn about the impact of climate change on global, immigrant, & Indigenous children. @KimMukerjee sets the stage: Climate change isn't just about the future. It's happening now. Children who already experience health inequities will be more severely impacted. #AAP2022

She boldly called for removal of all forms of supremacy in GH spaces, including thru examining one’s own motivations for GH engagement, more thoughtful use of language we use, an end to paternalistic practices, increased diversity in leadership, & bidirectionality. #AAP2022 2/

Congratulations to Dr. Aya Fanny (

@DocteurAya

) on her impactful keynote address at the #AAP2022 international reception, where she powerfully called for changes at the individual & institutional levels to decolonize #globalhealth (GH) & advance equity & justice.

Indigenous Peoples should be centered in discussions on climate change. Indigenous rights violations & climate change contribute to the cycle of intergenerational trauma & health inequities. -

How do we bridge the vaccine equity gap? Advocacy; address misinformation, hesitancy and lack of access; expand funding; TRIPS waivers; and boost local production capacity.

“Vaccine access isn’t only about available doses-we must consider how vaccines get from ports into arms.”

unpacks the global vaccine equity gap, using COVID vaccine inequity as a case study & discussing vaccine hoarding by HICs & other contributing factors. #AAP2022

In context of other overlapping threats to child health, this is a recipe for a child survival crisis. “We are bracing for impact,”

Stethoscope-associated otitis externa is a thing. Ask me how I know. Never again will I use the shared stethoscope in rooms of patients on contact precautions—without wiping down earpieces with alcohol swabs. How did I not think about how gross that is until now?!
