Excited to hear from @YadiraCaraveo (who was @DrBenHoffman’s resident, now a #tweetiatrician and CO state rep!) #AAP2021
- Kids’ issues not always taken seriously in govt since they don’t vote so it’s OUR job to advocate for policies that #PutKids1st

Thankful for #tweetiatricians in office @DrPanMD @RepKimSchrier plus ppl like @suwumd @NancyGraffMD @kcalvinaap @AmerAcadPeds #AAPLegCon staff (and many others not on Twitter) who organize legislative visits on multiple levels!
#Advocacy tips
- many important decisions made at state/local levels
- maybe better to contact legislators when NOT in session to establish relationships
- join AAP lists for alerts on various issues/bills
- consider running for office eg @docsinpolitics @runforsomething

Ppl remember stories - resonates w prior advice #AAP2021
- don’t be intimidated by contacting legislators, frame it as offering them help/expertise on the issue
- can also think of it as shared decision making just like what we do w patients every day!

Will have to go back and listen to the first part of the #AAP2021 session w @mundumuragu @StrohCunningham @safekidspres later, but #InjuryPrevention is an important topic for any practice setting or stage of life!
