I’m suing California and the Medical Board of California for denying my right to free speech as a physician when they passed #AB2098. My name is Azadeh, and it means FREEDOM. We’re taking this to federal court.

I was shocked and broken-hearted when @CAgovernor and legislature acted so unwisely and unethically by passing and signing #AB2098. When push came to shove, I had to take a stand. I processed my fear and emerged incredibly clear and strong. Then... I sued California.

Physicians told me they’re afraid to speak, that they feel they’re practicing under “communism”, that the situation is “bizarre”, “crazy” and “ridiculous”. I see self-censoring and fear in the medical community, and #AB2098 law is going to make it much, much worse.

Joining me in fighting this dangerous law are my co-plaintiffs: doctors @tracybethhoeg, @akheriaty, Ram Duriseti, and Pete Mazolewski. Counsel are Jenin Younes @Leftylockdowns1, @LauraPowellEsq and Gregory Dolin. BAM!

I am so grateful that I live in the U.S.A where I can do this, especially feeling my heartbreak that doctors in #Iran are killed for speaking up. I'm grateful I can take a stand for free speech and the sacred doctor-patient relationship (though these should be a matter-of-course)

I ask for your support, including your speaking out, spreading our message, visualization and prayers. Blessings and love to all. PATIENTS! DOCTORS! FREEDOM! LIBERTY! #letdoctorsspeak #letpatientshear #ab2098
