“Criminalizing being unhoused and using a police first, housing last approach does nothing to promote health and wellbeing.”
Policing is about punishing people for being poor, instead of offering real support.
Housing for all is repro justice. #HousingNotHandcuffs #CareNotCops
“I’m waiting for an ambulance. I might be going into labor. Is that okay?”
“You’re being detained because you’re unlawfully camping.”
Chilling body cam footage shows police detaining and citing a homeless woman who is in active labor.

Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women.
The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.

We also know that when communities come together and organize, we can protect abortion access–like in Amarillo where voters defeated the abortion travel ban, and in the seven states across the country where ballot initiatives affirming abortion and reproductive freedom won.

I've been reading @propublica's stories on the deaths of women from abortion bans with a mix of admiration for their reporting and grief for these avoidable losses.
But the story published today has a major oversight.
The hospital where this teenager died was Catholic.

Fact Check: Tim Walz actually expanded abortion access in Minnesota by removing Roe-era abortion restrictions. Walz’s work in MN shows that he knows better than to restore the Roe framework. #VPDebate2024

President Trump did not 'save' the Affordable Care Act. He worked tirelessly to repeal it. And up until just a few months ago called for its "termination."

Reminder: there’s no point in pregnancy that the government is better positioned to make decisions about your health and body than you are. #Debate2024 #PresidentialDebate2024

No officers are charged with a crime in 98% of all police killings. Of the 2% that remain, half are acquitted. Only 1% end up getting convicted, often because they committed unusually extreme and egregious acts of police murder. These are the cops he wants to give immunity.
Heyyyy look at that! 5 years of abortion funding in NYC! Thank you @NYCCouncil & @NYCSpeakerAdams! #localrepro
This weekend, the @NYCCouncil led by @NYCSpeakerAdams approved a budget that included $1M in direct funding for abortion care and practical support to our partners @NYAAF and @BrigidAlliance. This marks 5 years of NYC funding abortion care.

SCOOP: The Supreme Court is poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho, according to an opinion the court posted inadvertently on its website that @BLaw obtained.

Even broken clocks are right twice a day. But I don’t want us to lose sight of the fact that we should not have wait with bated breath for courts to decide our reproductive futures. This was always about politics, never science. Mifepristone is safe and abortion is health care.

Just to wrap up #SOTU night:
✅ Protecting IVF means protecting abortion
✅ Restoring Roe = criminalization of pregnant people and more abortion bans
✅ By "act", "repro health", "to choose", POTUS means ABORTION
Liberate abortion. Goodnight.

Heartbroken by the passing of Andrea Miller, a visionary leader whose tireless work saved lives and advanced reproductive health and freedom.
Proud to have worked with her to expand municipal funding for access to abortion care.
My thoughts are with her family and community.

We know focusing on getting folks out of state for abortion care seems like the best remedy for this reality, but the truth is not everyone can leave the state. When we operate from a reproductive justice lens, we show up fully for everyone in our communities. ✊🏽 #DeepSouth
