SNAP Benefits Remain Uncertain as Black Families Brace for Impact - Davis Vanguard Dr. Regina Davis Moss, president and CEO of In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda, warned that potential funding lapses in SNAP and WIC could have devastating consequenc...

Food shouldn’t be a luxury, btw.

Federal, Furloughed Workers Encouraged to Try Entrepreneurship Former federal employee turns to entrepreneurship after job loss due to federal job cuts. Black women are leading the way in new businesses.

Thx Wash Informer for providing this context and roadmap for Black women considering entrepreneurship. 300,000+ have lost their jobs in recent months. But we're creating businesses at fast rates. Control our economic lives is #reprodjustice. Buy Black!

More than 90% of Black people polled say Medicaid is crucial as cuts loom At least 90% of Black people surveyed for a new poll said Medicaid is important to them or their families, and more than half either have public insurance or a family member who relies on the program....

.@blackwomensrj.bsky.social polled Black communities in 10 key states, and the results are clear:
❗️90% say that Medicaid is important to them
❗️50% say they either have or know someone who has public health insurance.

We’re not feeling optimistic about our futures—so what can legislators do? As civil rights are eroded daily, I urge our elected leaders to enact #ReproductiveJustice policies. It’s the only pathway through which we can truly thrive. The framework already exists. The blueprint is clear.

Trump Fires Black Officials From an Overwhelmingly White Administration

There’s no denying it: Trump is targeting Black officials, namely Black women, in recent firings.

We cannot let this administration dampen our voices in the places they matter most. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

Can someone tell Trump that this isn’t The Apprentice?

Did y’all see this? Florida continues to spread wild misinformation. Our nation's health is in jeoparty because of RFK Jr.’s antivax stance. And it doesn’t stop there. Florida just signed onto the lawsuit against Mifepristone-one of the safest, most effective, and most tested medications out there.

🚨 Big news to share! 🚨

Today, we unveiled the Reproductive Justice Is the Way: A Community Practice Workbook — a powerful new resource from @blackwomensrj.bsky.social to help individuals and organizations bring RJ values to life in their communities.

Costco claims the decision not to sell #Mifepristone is a “lack of demand from our members and other patients.” But really, they folded under pressure. As states continue to tighten their restrictions on abortion across the country, patients should be able to what they need wherever they can get it.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Not in the slightest.
Despite signing an Executive Order directing the government to expand access to IVF, the White House has stated they have no plans – no bill, no legal challenges, NOTHING – to fulfill that EO or Trump’s promise of affordable IVF. #AccessNotTalk

DC, like many cities, is unbearably hot this summer. And while climate change is top of mind, we must also name environmental racism. Communities of color are exposed to toxic air, water, and soil—poisons from power plants and highway emissions. These corporate assaults harm our reproductive health

Tell me again that #ReproJustice doesn’t include housing justice! Investigations have been looking into housing discrimination, gentrification & environmental racism, but the Administration thinks these things are “woke” Spoiler: It’s basic human decency.Read the Black RJ Policy Agenda to learn more

Black Reproductive Justice Policy Agenda - In Our Own Voice

Black families are more likely to live in food deserts. If we want #ReproJustice, we must address the racist policies that keep Black families there – including this reconciliation bill that has cut off SNAP and other programs. Read our recommendations: blackrj.org/blackrjpolic...

#SayHerName today & forever. It’s been 10 years since Sandra Bland died in police custody & still no justice. I fight for Sandra & the countless Black women, girls, & gender-expansive folks taken from us by police, our healthcare system, & a society built on racism & misogyny. Rest in Power, Sandra

GOP governors stay silent amid plans to slash Medicaid spending in their states In 2017, when President Trump tried to repeal Obamacare and roll back Medicaid coverage, Republican governors rallied against it. Now, as Trump tries again to scale back Medicaid, they've gone quiet.

Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority strikes down 176-year-old abortion ban The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban. The court’s liberal majority ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the ban is no longer valid because newer abortion restrictio...

If you needed some good news, here it is 💟 The Wisconsin Supreme Court STRUCK DOWN a 176-year-old ban, increasing abortion access for everyone in the state. This is all due to the fierce #ReproJustice advocates on the ground. Thank you for doing the work – it paid off. apnews.com/article/wisc...

The only way we can fight the people who want to take away our bodily autonomy is by doing it together. Read more in Prism: prismreports.org/2025/06/24/d...

Today marks 3 years since #Dobbs. My predecessor, Marcela, and I want to remind you Roe gave the right to privacy—but not access to abortion. Rights mean little if you have to travel far, pay out of pocket, or beg to be believed. We need real access to abortion and reproductive healthcare.

The “Big Beautiful Bill Act” Is Coming for Your Abortion Coverage Their ultimate goal is to put abortion care out of reach for everyone, everywhere, under every circumstance, and this measure is just one step toward that goal.

The fact that they're calling this the "Big Beautiful Bill" tells you everything about how unserious & dangerous—this party is. And they’re hiding plans to punish insurers if they cover abortion care in some states. Whatever timeline we’re in, it needs to be reset. Now. nwlc.org/the-big-beau...

CDC’s vaccine advisors are crucial to providing COVID-19 vaccination guidance, and when that committee defied RFK’s advice not to vaccinate children against COVID, they were REPLACED with people who will just do what he says w/o second thought. At what point will ppl fully stop trusting the CDC?

Kentucky has a near-total trigger law ban on abortion as well as a six-week abortion ban. Now, the lawsuit filed to challenge these pieces of legislation has been dropped.

Opinion | I'm a Black Doctor. I Nearly Died Giving Birth. I was not spared, despite my medical credentials and privilege

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: no matter your socioeconomic status, Black women, girls and gender-expansive people shoulder the dangerous burdens of the maternal health crisis.

@velshimsnbc.bsky.social said the quiet part out loud. Anti-choice extremists are on a warpath to control our bodies and futures. We must take action NOW and pass #ReproductiveJustice policies to safeguard our bodily autonomy. Check out the video ⬇️

Kennedy Says Healthy Kids Don’t Need Covid Shots. Is That True?

Remember those vaccines we all got when were growing up—measles, tetanus, etc.? It's because they're critically tools for preventing the spread of deadly diseases. Apparently, decades of science and public health success can now be dismissed on a whim. Learn more: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/w...

Wait… didn’t we just celebrate Missouri's vote to protect abortion rights in November? Now the Missouri Supreme Court has reinstated the state’s abortion ban? 🤔There’s nothing more undemocratic than enforcing a policy that ignores the will of the people. This fight for #RJ is far from over.

We need to talk about what’s happening in Louisiana ⬇️
Instead of giving students real sex ed and full health care access—extremist lawmakers want to steer pregnant teens to unlicensed, anti-abortion centers. #RJ means having the power to decide what happens to our bodies, health care, and futures.

A new Texas bill is coming after online abortion pills The measure, introduced Friday in Texas, may be the most meaningful attempt this year to block the ordering and mailing of abortion pills.

Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people will face the worst consequences of banning online abortion bills. This heinous policing of our bodies needs to stop! 19thnews.org/2025/03/texa...

Adriana Smith, a 30 yo Georgia nurse, was declared brain-dead after suffering blood clots during pregnancy. Due to the state's abortion laws, Emory Hospital kept her on life support to allow her fetus to reach viability, despite her family's objections. We cannot look away. We must demand better.

Happy Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Love this pic of @schoimorrow & I at the Repro Roundtable hosted by Speaker Jeffries last year. Sung Yeon is working hard to advance RJ for AAPI women in the US. It's always great to have a partner as we fight for access for all women of color!
