JUST LAUNCHED! 👠 🚀 The AST collaboration with John Fluevog Shoes is officially here! After receiving a kidney transplant in 2025, Fluevog founder John Fluevog created this limited-edition shoe to honor his living donor and her husband— celebrating the generosity, courage, and ripple effect of living kidney donation. Even more meaningful: ❤️ 15% of U.S. shoe sales support the mission of the American Society of Transplantation This collection celebrates the courage of living donors, the resilience of transplant recipients, and the clinicians and researchers advancing the field. This is more than a shoe release. 💙 It’s awareness. 💚 It’s advocacy you can wear. 🔗 Explore the collection: myAST.org/Fluevog

Big step forward for living donors. The Living Donor Protection Act has advanced out of the Senate HELP Committee, a key milestone toward protecting donors from discrimination in life, disability, and long-term care insurance. #DonateLife #LivingDonor #TransplantTwitter

📊 1,135 patient-reported side effects. Skin cancer, pain, kidney disease — many with major daily impact. That’s why @AST_info is going to Congress to push for better immunotherapies. Survival ≠ quality of life. Read the full paper: bit.ly/4bgTsZ8

On #MLKDay, we honor Dr. King’s enduring call for equity by recommitting ourselves to justice in health care. This means advancing equitable access to transplant, addressing disparities in outcomes, and building a system where every patient has a fair chance at life-saving care.

From our AST family to yours - we wish you a healthy and happy New Year!💙💚 @AST_info

The @KidneyBCY recently inducted Compass Rose into the Living Donor Circle of Excellence, a program that recognizes organizations supporting the lost wages of living organ donors. More than 100,000 people are currently waiting for a life-saving kidney or liver transplant. While only about 4 in every 25,000 people become living donors, workplace policies can either ease or complicate the path to donation. By joining this program, leaders demonstrate tremendous support for their employees, empowering them to take an extraordinary act that has life-changing effects on Canadians and their families, while reducing the potential financial burden. We thank @ThePower2Save for its ongoing work to improve the lives of families across the country. To find out ways you can help, visit livingdonorcircle.com/become-a-member. #UncommonCommunity
