On this #ElectionDay, it is important to stress that politics is another word for power. To not do politics is to not do power. And what happens when we don’t do power? Fascism happens. Bigotry happens. Injustice happens. To engage in politics is to engage our power. 1/6

Connecting families with costs of healthcare and trying to mitigate the impact of those costs is more important now than ever.

I know there’s a lot of focus on the election, but we cannot forget the virus. Yesterday we had more than 121,000 new Covid-19 cases – a record high. This is a stark reminder that though we have been at this for eight months, the pandemic is not over. Be kind and wear a mask.

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

Oh this is not a good look for you Stanford Medicine
