BREAKING — #SCOTUS has ruled to overturn Roe, bringing the decision back to the states. TX is one of many states that have a trigger ban to go into effect weeks after today’s ruling. Texans have been living in a post-Roe reality for nearly 10 months, and it’s about to get worse.
"...such a fund is beyond traditional purview of city government." You know what is also beyond traditional purview? The multiple abortion bans in place. A public health crisis requires non-traditional solutions. Local govts have been taking action since Dobbs, this is not new.
Our movements are only as strong as our relationships and strong relationships require trust, transparency and accountability. Avow Texas cannot continue a partnership where these values are not honored. Solidarity with @AllAboveAll laid off workers.

Hi Twitter friends, we barely use this app now because we do not approve of the direction it is going under El*n M*sk 'leadership'. Find us on Instagram and TikTok under the same username!

The tenants of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to raise a child in a safe and healthy environment –– that includes safety and access to life-saving care for trans youth.
This quoted post is unavailable.
One of the principles of reproductive justice is the right to parent children in safe and healthy environments. That includes freedom from gun violence. #txlege
Once again, we are heartbroken and angry that another Texas community has been ripped apart by a preventable mass shooting.
Rep. Guillen is standing in the way of even taking a vote on gun reform. Call Rep. Guillen's office at 512-463-0416 now!

So the speaker of the house shut out parents of trans kids from his office and now they're banning trans people from exercising their first amendment rights trying to make their voices heard in the face of dangerous and fascist legislation. Shame.
We are with you, Sofia 🏳️⚧️💜
Our board member & @EqualityTexas staffer Sofia, has now been banned from entering the state Capitol for an entire YEAR for dropping a banner in the main rotunda.
👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿They cannot and will not silence trans voices, try as they might today! #txlege

💚 Abortion is on the ballot in San Antonio!
so is cite and release! check out the facts below, don’t let your friends buy the misinformation:
remember that $40M from Thursday? It’s not *just* $40M… it’s $40M per year. Grand total for A2A is at $200M of taxpayer money for state funded coercion. Public money as a handout to the anti-abortion lobby.
How would you spend this $$$? tell your reps 👀 avowtx.co/defundA2A
The Texas House just passed a measure that increases funding to the Alternatives to Abortion Program – largely unregulated, anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers – to $200M over two years. According to @EquityForward this would be the *largest public investment in A2A in the US*
BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas has suspended FDA approval of mifepristone – one of two common medications used for a medication abortion. This is part of the anti-abortion strategy to undermine access in states where abortion is protected post-Dobbs.
Terrifying to think how much worse this situation could be if the family did not have a midwife + @TheAfiyaCenter advocating for them. Reproductive Justice requires us to abolish the racist child welfare system. #JusticeForMilaJackson
This is one of the most devastating, infuriating stories I've read in a long time. You think you're already angry at the basics of what happened and then it just keeps getting worse with each new detail. I recommend reading every word by @kylietcheung jezebel.com/black-couple-say…
Texas lawmakers funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to anti-abortion centers -- this session they want to spend $120 million!
Anti-abortion legislators just secured the A2A program $40 million more: grand total at $160 million for anti-abortion lobbyists 🤯
🚨 we’re watching the state budget debate LIVE, tune in here and watch our legislators gift taxpayer money to anti-abortion lobbyists: tlchouse.granicus.com/MediaP…

Rep. @ErinForYall just wrapped up comments on the lack of privacy for patients at anti-abortion centers. Vasut couldn’t give us an answer, now he’s dodging questions from @DonnaHowardTX on the misuse of A2A funds. Where are the reports?! 👀

"Reproductive justice is inextricably linked to the fight against the prison industrial complex and the family policing system." - Dorothy Roberts
🚨 AUSTIN 🚨 join us and our allies today in fighting back against HB 1686 which would deny access to gender-affirming care for trans youth. Reproductive justice includes the right to parent children in safe and healthy environments. Trans youth deserve safety, care and respect.
🚨 #TXLege Action Alert!
We need all LGBTQ+ Texans, advocates, and allies with us to #FightForOurLives and show anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers that we won't sit back while they deny life-saving healthcare to young Texans!
