Here's the thing:
When we come together to fight for reproductive equity — we're fighting for a future where EVERYONE can make health care decisions without political interference.
Regardless of your zip code, income, immigration status or background.
Abortions are common.
Abortions are safe.
Abortion is healthcare.
Period.
🚨Tomorrow @1PM!!
Catch us in Washington DC fighting for birth control access alongside @markey.senate.gov, @repfletcher.bsky.social & other repro champs! We'll be testifying to:
⬈ Spotlight attacks on contraception
⬈ Highlight how states need to fight back

Text: News: Connecticut takes major steps to protect youth access to essential health care. CT just passed HB 7213, a bill that protects young people's access to CONFIDENTIAL contraception and pregnancy related care.
🎉 BIG NEWS! Connecticut just passed HB 7213 — a bill that protects young people’s right to confidential:
✨ Birth control
✨ Pregnancy-related care
This is a major step forward for reproductive freedom in the Nutmeg state!
The bill is now headed to the Governor’s desk. 🙏
We’re out bright and early to fight for NH’s family planning program!
It’s an honor to stand side-by-side with local orgs & dozens of community members that showed up to fight for Granite Staters’ access to birth control, STD testing, cancer screenings, and more. 🙏🏼🎉
#NewHampshire
Does your last name today match the last name on your birth certificate? For 69M married women who changed their last name, the answer is no.
The GOP is trying to disenfranchise you. Call your Rep. - demand they oppose the SAVE Act.

👎 NH is planning on gutting its Family Planning Program next week!
This program offers low-income families preventative health care like low-cost birth control, STI testing, cancer screenings & much more.
Tell your State Rep to reinstate this funding— NOW! 👇

UPDATE: Yesterday, Trump froze #TitleX funding for 13 Planned Parenthood affiliates — citing their refusal to end Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practices.
This is much more than a budget cut. This is a death sentence for thousands of people across the U.S.
Here's what you need to know:
Nobody should be disappeared from the streets of Somerville – or anywhere in America.
Everyone should be alarmed by the video of Rumesya Ozturk being handcuffed and taken away by agents. The government must immediately release her.

🧵With 19 near-total abortion bans in the country- more states are making use of tools like shield laws to protect providers to out-of-state patients, but there's more we can do. Cassie Lehr of @reachfundct.bsky.social and Liz Gustafson of @reproequitynow.bsky.social have solutions: nnaf.org/d
If you want to read something inspiring for a change of pace, check out how Boston’s @wutrain.bsky.social ended her State of the City speech tonight.
Absolutely and entirely gut wrenching.
NEW POLL: MA Voters Support Abortion Throughout Pregnancy! 📢
📊 66% of MA voters support expanding #abortion access after 24 weeks of pregnancy based on the professional judgement of a licensed physician.
Health care decisions should be made by patients and their doctors, NOT politicians.
If 50+ years of doing this work has taught us anything, it’s that storytelling is a POWERFUL tool in fighting stigma & advocating for access.
Have a story about being an abortion care patient or provider?
Consider sharing it (anonymous or not) here: secure.everyaction.com/hgdvc7IXAU-f...
Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis.
The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester.
💕This Valentine’s Day, remember: EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY WHO’S HAD AN ABORTION. 💕
Abortion is health care. Abortion is love. And everyone deserves the freedom to make their own choices.
Today, let’s affirm our fight for a future where reproductive rights are protected, accessible, and equitable.❤️
‼️HUGE WIN‼️
Today, the New Hampshire House voted to withdraw a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
This could not have happened without the 12,000+ NH residents that took action to publicly oppose the bill.
👉 This is a POWERFUL step forward. When we fight together, we win!
Last week, 12,000+ NH residents publicly opposed a 15-week abortion ban.
Since then, the bill’s sponsor Rep. Katy Peternel (R) moved to withdraw the legislation.
On Thursday, the NH House will vote to support, or not support, that motion to withdraw. Here's how you can help move the needle:

Yesterday, Trump issued an EO restricting health care access for transgender young people — a clear attempt to strip trans people of their autonomy.
The fight for reproductive equity and LGBTQ rights are the same fight. We must stand up to ensure access to dignified health care for every person.
Biden's final farewell video is set to the song "All My Love" by Coldplay.
Coldplay was one of Beau Biden's favorite bands. Chris Martin performed at Beau's funeral. Biden chose "A Sky Full of Stars" as the kickoff song at his victory party in 2019.
A beautiful way to end this era.
As Cecile Richards so perfectly put, “When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and to follow our dreams, we are unstoppable.”
Today, we continue our unstoppable fight for reproductive equity in Cecile’s honor and legacy. ❤️
Need a little bit of hope after today’s inauguration? I sure do.
Join @reproequitynow.bsky.social and @edmarkey.bsky.social tomorrow night to discuss how we’re going to stand up and fight back.
Trump has made it clear that he wants to bring us back, but we are not going to let that happen.
New England is the firewall. Our region remains fiercely committed to protecting progress, defending democracy and fortifying fundamental rights.
Today, we made it clear: we will not back down.
Today, we’re excited to publish our 2024 Impact Report!
This comprehensive report takes a look at the progress we made to educate, advocate & activate for reproductive equity across New England.
None of it would be possible without the support of advocates like you.🙏

I made this graphic for Repro Equity Now and it's already one of my personal favorites.
Access to gender-affirming care goes hand-in-hand with access to abortion care — anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments for a case that will challenge access to trans health care.
This case could severely cut access to vital, life-saving care for young trans people & we can’t stand by and let it happen.
The fight for abortion & gender-affirming care is one and the same.
Crunch is the best part
Today, Donald Trump announced that he'll nominate Congressman Matt Gaetz to serve as the Attorney General of the United States.
The very same extremist politician that made national headlines for calling #abortion supporters “fat and ugly.”
