This #HumanRightsDay, the public health community is conspicuously silent – even as human rights will be crucial in facing the global health challenges to come. I took advantage of the quiet to develop a thread looking back on our global health engagement. https://t.co/xTpFMTgCa6

Having considered the #GlobalHealth implications of the US elections, we now return to power those who: 🔬 neglected #PublicHealth, ⚖️ violated #HumanRights & 🌎 undermined #GlobalGovernance. How can we prepare the next generation to respond? https://t.co/I3gh4KlVcA

On this day in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became first black woman elected to the United States Congress.

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

Public health hangs in the balance of this U.S. election. Whether or not academic journals “endorse” a candidate, it is crucial that academic scholarship engage with the implications of elections, and it was inspiring to speak with @AnilOza16 about the #GlobalHealth implications.

TOMORROW is the last day of early voting in North Carolina. Focusing my classes this week on the global health implications of the U.S. elections, it was inspiring to go to the polls with my global health policy students, sharing our hopes and fears at this existential crossroads

In the #Presidentialelection, much has been written about civility, equity & policy in the US. But what may be more consequential is a Trump admin that would torpedo global health institutions & unravel core values of global solidarity, partnerships, and global health justice.

An RFK Jr-led health disinformation coalition could cause permanent damage to our national immunizations. Even though vaccine policies are set by state legislatures, where I am in the Southern U.S. + elsewhere the trickle down would be catastrophic: measles pertussis, even polio

The U.S. Elections present an existential crossroads for #GlobalHealth, as we examine in @JLME_ASLME. https://t.co/GGHS0cbuJ0 Developed by UNC & Duke faculty and students, I am inspired that we came together to fight for North Carolina – and the future of global health policy. 🗳️
