John Lewis didn’t just “get in good trouble.” He invited the rest of us in. Five years after his passing, his legacy lives through marches, ballots, and every voice demanding justice. If your values aren’t in motion, they’re just decoration. What will you do today? #VoicesWorthHearing

Jane was a firm believer in the passion of young individuals, their drive to strive for more than just "okay." Let's honor her legacy by amplifying their voices, providing them with encouragement and opportunities to shine. Legacy is about nurturing growth. #VoicesWorthHearing

The AAP called it out: vaccines don’t cause autism, and spacing them out only increases risk. Trump & RFK dusting off old anti-vax myths puts kids in danger. Science is settled. Autism ≠ vaccine injury. #VoicesWorthHearing

Social work 101: Start where the client is and truly listen. Open yourself up to what they have to teach you...and they all teach you something. When I keep quiet and let someone name their own reality, I see the relief..."someone finally hears me." Then the work can begin.

The APA is right: autism policy must be rooted in evidence, not conspiracy theories. Trump & RFK’s claims fuel stigma and distract from real support for autistic people. Evidence > politics.

Stacey Abrams lays out 10 steps to autocracy, and we’re watching too many boxes get ticked: power grabs, scapegoating, election sabotage. Democracy isn’t self-cleaning...we’ve gotta scrub in. What steps do you see creeping in?

The Autism Science Foundation hit it hard: autism can’t be reduced to Tylenol, folate, or vaccine timing. Trump & RFK are selling smoke and mirrors, not science. Autistic people deserve respect, not scapegoating.

ASF Statement on White House Announcement on Autism - Autism Science Foundation
New York, NY (September 22, 2025) We are deeply concerned by today’s announcements from President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy suggesting that taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy causes autism, that a medicine derived from folate can be used to treat symptoms of autism, and that vaccines should be broken up over multiple visits

Every day I’m humbled by this work: people invite me into their lives...their heartbreak; their joy. They hand me the raw chapters of their story (Trauma, triumph, all of it) and trust me not to drop the pages. That trust is sacred; I try to earn it back daily. #VoicesWorthHearing

SMFM made it plain: there is no evidence linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism. Fever in pregnancy can be harmful; Tylenol remains the safest option. Trump & RFK pushing junk science only adds stigma and fear.

Disability Pride Month wraps up today, but let's keep the momentum going. Inclusion is not a trend...it's a necessity. Let's strive for jobs, access, and leadership opportunities for people with disabilities every month. #DisabilityRights #VoicesWorthHearing

William Alden Smith isn’t in the history books but he should be. He took on monopolies, protected workers, fought for public land, and challenged racist policing...over 100 years ago. He was fierce, flawed, and fearless. Let’s talk about what we lost when we lost his legacy.

Robert Pelham Jr. was a Black journalist, inventor, and civil rights leader who worked in federal service for over 30 years...quietly shaping systems from the inside. With his courage and refusal to be silenced, he deserves to be remembered alongside other activists.

While others took center stage, Pelham worked with dignity and precision behind the scenes. From journalism to civil rights law to Census innovations, he shaped the future. His voice shouldn’t be shadowed by louder ones. It should be amplified. #SystemUntangled #VoicesWorthHearing

Yes, he ran the Titanic hearings. And yes, he was mocked for his accent and persistence. But that inquiry saved lives. Smith didn’t care about headlines; he cared about truth. In an age of spectacle, that kind of integrity still matters.
