Docs Demand Action

As of this morning, compared to this time last year Baltimore has seen a 31.7% decrease in homicides and a 22% decline in non-fatal shootings. This progress is not a coincidence. The reductions are the direct result of everyone working together toward a safer Baltimore.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.

Guns are the number one killer of children and teens in America. School shootings have gotten SO BAD that I convinced a Newsmax political panel to agree with me that we need #GunReformNOW. Really!

Why is #GunViolence a uniquely American Public Health Crisis — a question I often get. At the core of this problem is having Easy Access to Firearms. Easy access ➕ ‘numerous variables’ can lead to injury, death and disability. That’s The Formula.

Firearms are the leading cause of death for American Children and Teens. 46 Medical Organizations have come together in unity to address one of the most important Public Health Problems of modern time. Just Released: bit.ly/FirearmMedical… 👇👇
