*Policies* can't be the only prescription to heal what's clearly broken in our nation.
While policy change is important, what is needed most is communal solidarity & accountability.
A commitment that won't be dependent on if an issue directly impacts us or our loved ones.

Equity requires targeted investment.
Justice requires racism-conscious policy.
Healing requires truth-telling.
If we’re serious about saving lives — now and in the next crisis — we cannot afford to be colorblind.

Here are some of my own recommendations to begin your journey toward deeper solidarity.
Start where you are.
Do what you can.
Add where you’re able.
But please—start.

The myth that these are separate issues only serves to maintain the status quo.
The longer we let it fester, the harder it will be—for all of us & for our children—to realize true freedom, equity & justice.

A stark reminder: Understanding what we’re facing is essential.
Unified action is even more crucial.
So I urge folks to start (or continue!) showing up in solidarity—
for Palestinians in Gaza
& for communities under siege here in the U.S.
It is all connected.

We called for a shift in how we practice core ethical principles.
It’s not enough to name the values—we must live them in our institutions, our policies, our care.
We didn’t plan it this way, but April 4th—the day of the talk—marked 57 years since Dr. King’s assassination.

The title was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 book:
“Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?”
It shaped how we framed policy and practice toward pediatric racial health equity.
