Poets, especially Asian American female poets, don't dream about being on the Time 100 List. But it happened and I'm on the cover.

.@jillpromoli became a vaccine advocate after her son died from the flu. She has fielded 100s of attacks from members of an antivax group, including posts blaming her for her child’s death. And @facebook has done nothing to help, she says. My story today: theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
Mother whose son died of the flu says she’s become a target of anti-vaccine groups on Facebook

Mother whose son died of the flu says she’s become a target of anti-vaccine groups on Facebook

Your dedication to squeezing some positive from your son's tragic death - even in the face of vile attacks from trolls - is humbling and inspiring. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a… #ForJudeForEveryone

Thank you for sharing this, and thank you always for your voice on #publichealth. These people will keep coming, but we'll still be here without Jude. I don't want that for anyone else. We have to have this conversation and push back against misinformation. #forjudeforeveryone

A) Calling 911 to complain about this is an astounding abuse of the service that is 911 B) This little girl DIED and your complaint is that a sound on your phone woke you up on a school night? Y’all, please

Our communications bureau is receiving numerous calls to 9-1-1, complaining about the late hour of the Amber Alert. As a direct result of someone receiving the alert, we were able to locate the suspect & his vehicle. The system works. Thank you to all those that called with tips.
