I urge all public health colleagues to denounce the man-made public health disaster outlined by @WHO👇
I’m proud to have a vocation that has social justice as a foundational cornerstone. The suffering inflicted on Palestinian civilians is so clearly wrong & we must call it out.
If you're curious about the nexus of climate change & gender issues, today's newsletter from @anya1anya is a nice primer.

Relatedly, the framework @YLabsGlobal recently launched gives actions funders can take to address some of it: climatexsrh.org/
Like everything he has written about long COVID, this @edyong209 piece is essential reading. If you have long COVID, wonder if you do, or are just curious what the fatigue can be like, this piece will tell you. I'm at the good end of recovery now, but it's validating to read this
🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized.

Essential reading on the state of abortion rights and access in the US one year post-Roe.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has unleashed immense harm and suffering across the nation in the past year. It's essential to create a record of the human cost of the decision. This is our attempt to account for what we’ve lost, reported by @andreagonram

And a good weekend to donate to places like @AbortionFunds to help those who no longer have local access get essential care.
If only we had learned any of those lessons as a society and could use that shared understanding now.

Excited for this new site from the Child, Early & Forced Marriages & Unions and Sexuality Working Group: sexualityworkinggroup.org/
Great resource for orgs working to advance the rights of and opportunities for adolescent girls.
Cool project: theglobaljukebox.org/
It's global, digital Alan Lomax, compiling and sharing recordings of traditional songs from all over the world, tracing song attributes, history and culture and links between musical cultures. Mesmerizing.
Love this piece by @gregggonsalves . Public health has to focus on those at the margins, and making sure their perspectives are fronted in policy and programs is political, radical work.
Important piece by @gregggonsalves on the need to rescue public health from the false, studied neutrality of the liberal imagination and to hand it back to those willing to confront society’s deeper ills: thenation.com/article/societ…
I love this new interactive tool because not only does it so clearly show the inequities across many domains in NYC, it has clear actions that people can take to reduce them. Lots to explore and do.
Not all streets are created equal.
Today we're launching Spatial Equity NYC with @MITLCAU to reveal how inequities in public space contribute to racial and economic disparities across New York City neighborhoods.
See the data. Take action.

Read this today and can't stop thinking about it. Stories like this are happening all over this country, all over the world. Abortion is healthcare, and bodily autonomy is so much more than a political game.

Excited to dig into the Adolescent Atlas for Action by @GIRLCenterPC. It has so much of what I've always wanted from such dashboards: an adolescent focus, subnational data (!), sex-disaggregation, gender gaps, context, even confidence intervals. a3.popcouncil.org/
Today's Supreme Court ruling is a gut punch & a call to action. More than ever we have to organize transnationally, and learn from movements elsewhere that have had big successes for women's and girls' rights against long odds. philanthropy.com/article/wit… & we-are-purposeful.medium.com…
I'm a parent and my daughter is in the last couple of weeks of kindergarten. I can't stop thinking about Uvalde. As a society we can't look away. I'm horrified that the people who could do something about this gun violence are still doing nothing, barely trying to do the least.

Enjoyed talking with @betsyladyzhets @Gothamist for this piece on the state of COVID-19 in NYC schools: gothamist.com/news/why-covid…
Happy to share this piece I wrote for @Pop_Council #GIRLCenter on making better use of data, maps, & participatory activities to plan, design & do better work with girls that's built on a deeper understanding of the communities & contexts they live in. bit.ly/3l1v2Y8
