It takes constant tireless effort and incredible persistence to push policy change & funding for children’s care. It’s federal, it’s state, it’s local- and it’s global too! You can’t rest on laurels at any one level - keep pushing for the right thing. @AmerAcadPeds #AAPAdvocacy

Add bank to the list of places you can no longer visit in America…OR push your legislators to vote for gun reform policies that have been proven to work to make our country safe again. Thinking of those families who lost loved ones in Louisville today. 🥲 #EnoughIsEnough – at Houston, TX
