I’m listening to @jacksontkatz’s seminar at @EVAWintl’s conference and was just floored:
“Violence is not some thing that just happens out of the blue. It’s underpinned by an existing belief system.”
So no, violent men aren’t just “having a bad day”.

If a woman is murdered in the United States, 93% they are murdered by a male they know. 64% are killed by their intimate partners. Staggering. #EVAWI2021
Learning about policy work to take guns away from DV offenders, and how to keep them away. Research indicates when firearms are removed from domestic abusers, it saves lives. #EVAWI2021 #StartbyBelieving

Strangulation only a misdemeanor in Georgia until 2014! Law changed in Maine in 2011. Currently Ohio, Maryland, Washington D.C. and South Carolina do not specifically treat strangling as a felony. #evawi2021 #StartbyBelieving

“I don’t use the term violence against women. It’s passive. Men’s violence against women is more accurate.” The vast majority of violence against women is committed by men.” @jacksontkatz #EVAWI2021

A little chest-thumping moment if you’ll indulge me. This morning @DanMurphyESPN and I and some amazing other folks - like the one and only @AngiePovilaitis, are being honored by @EVAWintl. We are humbled & indebted to the survivors. #StartByBelieving
Thrilled to be representing Maine forensic examiners at the Ending Violence Against Women Conference. #startbybelieving #EVAWI2020

I carry a Kaboodle case full of wound care supplies, naloxone and other necessities in my car. Even when I’m not “working” I sometimes see participants who know me & need care. Tonight I was reminded why I carry that case & that #HarmReduction work never stops.

Hey, nurses: run for office and be relentless. Racism is a public health crisis.
“As a nurse, you’re taking care of one patient at a time. As an elected official, you can take care of a quarter of a million patients at a time—your constituency.”

Anti-racism in nursing includes advocating for universal healthcare. #morehealthcarenotless

Disrupt the narrative of nurses as heroes.
Explore the complicated politics of caregiving.
Pitches due July 15.
