Sometimes this takes some sacrifice. I've got student debt and high rent, but just signed up for some extra shifts to be able to donate as much as possible!

THREAD: There are a number of reasons why we felt it important to respond to this article, most significant being our concerns about centering antiracism efforts on the emotions and needs of people and institutions in power. 1/28 socialworker.com/feature-articl…
However, we also feel that it is critical to understand that this article was written in direct reaction to the efforts of individuals in our organization's advocacy for more conversation about racism in the field of social work, and its stark absence in #MacroSW discussions 2/28
It will most likely be unsurprising to readers that our efforts were grossly mischaracterized. We will touch on some of these mischaracterizations here, but will focus more on the dangers of conflating antiracism work with bullying, and the weaponization of "professionalism." 3/

For doctors, donations went mostly to Warren and Sanders, with Sanders slightly receiving more.
Buttigieg received a substantial portion.
Biden received very little.

@darakass @DrDooleyMD @AbdulElSayed @DrSriram @DoctorsforPete @Docs_4_Bernie To me this corroborates the polls which show that while medical trade groups/guilds/professional societies might not support policies like #MedicareForAll, grassroots doctors feel differently. 3/
