In New York City, there is not a single public library left that is open 7 days a week anymore.
When it comes to our City budget, we cannot be penny-wise and pound-foolish by cutting critical programs that people rely on.
#NoCutsToLibraries
I am committed to @NYCCouncil’s demand for the restoration of $58.3M cuts to NYC libraries! Cuts threaten vital services, library workers, and our communities. We must prioritize universal access and 7-day service. #NoCutsToLibraries

By the way, the fact that Trump is not being put in handcuffs, held in a cell, or otherwise violently & unnecessarily abused by police & court officers is a good thing. We should all demand the unnecessary violence of shackling & caging people before arraignment be limited.

Longer life expectancy is not the only outcome one would hope for from a country that spends far more than any other on health care per person. But, it is a compelling one, and we’re failing miserably.

Justice, not charity.
US Reps @JanSchakowsky, @RepBarbaraLee & @RepRaulRuizMD throw down the gauntlet with “21st Century Global Health Solidarity Strategy”—the most ambitious #globalhealth legislation ever.
Let's summarize the urgently needed vision🧵

Mariame Kaba: “Hope is a discipline.”
Paul Farmer: “You fight the long defeat.”
James Stockdale: Combine “the need for absolute, unwavering faith that you can prevail” with “the discipline to begin by confronting the brutal facts.”
These are my touchstones. 8/

With #COVID19, many beloved community libraries shut down in-person operations. In Arizona, however, @pchd's county library reinvented itself with PIH's help: it turned a page to become a pandemic response hub. 📚➡️🚑

While we, as a nation, consider how to help refugees from Ukraine, the administration must stop blocking other #AsylumSeekers under the guise of Public Health.
Great piece by PIH leaders, calling on @CDCgov and @POTUS to reverse course on Title 42:

"We’d all do well to follow Morse and Wispelwey’s example. And that means we need to practice antiracism in medicine." Indeed.
Piece by @harvardmed’s Paul Farmer and @PIH’s @Sheila_DavisDNP and Ophelia Dahl.

White supremacy will not deter the fight for health equity. Displays of racist backlash only confirm we are on the right path towards equity and justice. We stand with our colleagues whose courage helps make our society safer for people of color. bit.ly/3go0e1I

This experience has been hard. Providers and professional orgs must publicly support race explicit health equity work. Its good medicine. @CamaraJones @DrAlethaMaybank @InequityKills @purvishahesq @nycHealthy @DrBrittaniJ @dr_msharma @phillipWGBH

Journos: If you’re looking for a good example of helping spread misinformation: This is a good example and major fail by the @nytimes (again!) because later in their own reporting they point out that the teen’s case was not impacted by bail reform.

Racism is a public health crisis, and one that has been exacerbated by the #COVID19 pandemic. An @nycHealthy analysis looked at the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on Black and Latino New Yorkers.

ALT The COVID-19 Pandemic Magnified Inequities and Structural Racism in NYC. Existing inequities in NYC have persisted during the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused financial hardships that differ by race and ethnicity. Advancing health equity requires focused and ongoing efforts.

I'm live now with @PIH to talk about the importance of our community health workers and how I fought to secure nearly $8 billion in the #AmericanRescuePlan for our public health workforce. Tune in!
Community health workers are known by different names but have one mission: offer compassionate care to those who need it most. Learn more about this critical workforce. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1RDGlPAaQ…
