It is important to know the type of corruption that occurs, be it in the medical, academic, or legislative levels. https://lnkd.in/eDwUxqP2 This is a good website to keep tabs on.

One of my favorite things about being a partner in the Health Equity Community Collaborative is that ideas and action can and should come from every and all places. 💡They come from the 8000+ of you that are part of the work, from the working groups and core partners who not only represent themselves, and / or their organizations, and / or their practices and / or their communities. A big thank you needs to go to Dr. Rhea Boyd* for the idea of and enabling tomorrow's webinar, "Understanding The Legal Attacks on Racial Health Equity Programs" focused on rising legal attacks on education, employment, health and other sectors. She helped shape it and introduced us to NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. It is an offering and a conversation with our growing community and we are thinking of it as part of a series, so be sure to listen and let us know what would be helpful follow-up (either during the webinar or listen later and dm or email us).

Dalton, MPH, Meagan Puzacke, MSc, the LDF team including Pilar Whitaker, Amalea Smirniotopoulos, Arielle Humphries and Philip M.

As a managing partner and personal injury lawyer in San Diego, my commitment to running races for multiple sclerosis (MS) research isn't just about physical activity—it's about making a 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢. March is multiple sclerosis awareness month... This is a chance for us to not only raise awareness, but also to speak up together about the realities of life with MS. Participating in MS advocacy events allows me to empathize with those facing challenges, mirroring the empathy I bring to my legal practice. This shared understanding strengthens my ability to connect with clients on a deeper level, fostering trust and rapport. Moreover, my involvement in MS advocacy extends beyond empathy—it also keeps me informed about the latest research and treatment developments. This knowledge enables me to provide more comprehensive legal guidance to clients affected by MS, enhancing the support I offer. By running for MS research, I'm not only advocating for a cause close to my heart but also demonstrating my commitment to making a difference in the lives of those affected by MS.

Check out the new Collective Wisdom Article: Designing an Effective Opening Statement Although the opening statement is taken for granted as a trial advocacy essential, the Supreme Court of the United States has implicitly stated there is no Constitutional violation if opening statements are curtailed or precluded entirely. That is remarkable, because no one questions the importance or potential efficacy of an opening. It is against this paradox that NITA offers the latest in its Collective Wisdom series. Designing an Effective Opening Statement is selection of essays by leading advocacy instructors nationwide on specific aspects of this important, but not required, trial component.
