Let’s get 1st thing straight - this 🧵 is no insight into the near 15 yrs #advocates fought for #paidfamilyleave at the CO state Capitol before #voters passed it on the #ballot
I, like many folks - came into the advocacy for #FAMLI yrs after lots of fight. Grateful to have it

Many of us worked on the #ballotmeasure in 2020 & #voters approved the program by 57% of the vote ✨ the amount of barriers set in place to #advocate for #paidfamilyleave & #pass it & then #implement it - have been eye opening 👁 to say the least. #copilitics
This is hard to write but it is true for many. What I’m about to say is a harsh reality of what people go through.
What I am about to say is also the reason why a lot of people don’t ask for help.
People do not ask for help because of the fears and stigmas that exist.

Your bills per month:
$1,000 or more for rent
$150 or more for cable/internet
$250 or more for utilities
$150 per month for car insurance
So let’s do the math
You bring home about
$1,920.00 a month
Your bills average about $1,500(give or take)

A #thread on our recent paper in @PLOSNTDs examining ecological #evidence-base for #DiseaseControl management practices for #KyasanurForestDisease #AcademicTwitter #Scicomm #OneHealth; paper led by @SarahBurthe from @MonkeyFever_ consortium 
#Diseasecontrol strategies originate through endorsements by Governments/academia/authorities; they're often not field-tested robustly; even when they are, evidence is limited to one sector (cf. #OneHealth #Intersectoral approaches);
#publichealth approaches ought to be contextual & their effectiveness ought to be evaluated, yet strategies for disease control often spread through word of mouth and are sometimes untested;
