This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I'm very proud of NC's Governor Josh Stein who said he represents people, not democrats or republicans, but people, during his recent appearance on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social FEMA dollars help PEOPLE. Call your #representative and insist they protect #FEMA www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjol...

During my 2nd pregnancy (w/ twins!) I got very sick w covid. Luckily, my attentive midwife sent me to the hospital to get a monoclonal antibody infusion and I started to improve. The idea that pregnant women won’t get the best form of preventative care - a vaccine - going forward is terrifying.

If you are appalled by the government’s proposal to restrict access to #covid #vaccines to ONLY those 65+ and high risk, please submit a comment by the deadline tonight! To be clear, this strips you of your ability to choose what is right for you & your family. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Call your Representatives EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Why not just call once and assume your civic duty is taken care of? Bc staffers report to their boss what topics received the most calls each day. Want your issue to make the list & be seen by your Rep? Make sure it’s a top issue. Call! #advocacy

I love a superlative, but I'm not feeling too great about the fact that my home district, NC-04 (shout out, Durham!), is the HARDEST HIT district in the country by DOGE cuts. The economic ripple effect across our state will be massive. #ncstrong #advocacy www.americanprogress.org/article/doge...

I love this passage from John Lewis' book, "Across that Bridge:" (1/10)

Am honored to be featured in this piece about the very real impacts that NC is already facing as a result of the dismantling of #USAID and other critical federal funding for health and science. #NorthCarolina and especially #RTP will be hit hard by these decisions to disinvest in human wellbeing.

Fighting for American leadership on the global stage - standing up for human dignity - advocating for US investments in health for all... We know it's the right thing, but that doesn't make it the easy thing. #usaid #foreignaid #globalhealth #advocacy #equity #nc www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVO0...
