In 2020, the National Diaper Bank Network distributed 100 million diapers, a 67% spike year-over-year. 1 in 3 U.S. families couldn't afford diapers before #COVID19.
No federal aid or assistance program covers diapers. #SDOH @washingtonpost reports: washingtonpost.com/business/…

Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to "open" Texas is premature and, if so, it is akin to mass murder. galvnews.com/opinion/letters…

NEW: 2.9 million vaccines reported administered today, 20% above the last record.
Gratitude for all the vaccinators, volunteers, doctors, pharmacists, couriers, manufacturers, civil servants, and soldiers who are working together on this effort.

We are BEYOND excited to see @DisabledInPsych coming to Twitter because in both #Psychology and @PublicHealth, it is not just about the disabled clients we have. It is also about how we exist within these fields as disabled practitioners or students. @DisInHigherEd @aphamh 👇🏽

#Breaking: The Senate just passed the #AmericanRescuePlan to provide #COVID19 relief, moving forward an @acog priority that will save lives: extending #Medicaid coverage to 1 year postpartum. We call on the House to pass this legislation and send to @POTUS with urgency!

Joining @abbydphillip #InsidePolitics soon: Every moment the CDC continues to delay guidelines for what fully vaccinated people can do is a squandered opportunity. We need, urgently, to have reopening policies tied to vaccination & give people actionable guidance for their lives

Anti-woman anti-choice
Not *pro-life* at all.

Proud Boys hand in hand with clinic protestors is not surprising. Clinic harassment has long been a gateway to anti-democracy extremism. And anti-choice actors are primary purveyors of disinformation, pushing election fraud disinformation to their followers. They're soul mates.

Here are just some of the things the American Rescue Plan provides to families and children.
It will cut child poverty in half, which is the most significant policy change for children since the 1990s.

If you’re wondering which of the #COVID19Vaccines is best for you, the short answer is: whichever one is available to you. All three are safe and highly effective at preventing #COVID19 hospitalizations and deaths.
