The Anti-Migrant Crackdown Is Also a Reproductive Justice Crisis Working on abortion access in Texas, we see every day how immigration justice and reproductive justice are inseparable.

"For Latine communities, the compounded impact of anti-immigration laws, surveillance, and the threat of deportation, detention, or forced family separation often makes traveling for abortion care impossible."

Nine years ago, @bradlander.bsky.social former GOBK and demonstrated the power of community organizing. He showed us the power of standing together in advocacy and I will be forever grateful for his inspiration- and that he’s only continued to inspire and serve.

1 in 5 abortion patients have to travel outside of their state to receive safe, essential health care.

Imagine driving 8 hours to see your dentist or boarding a flight to see your primary care provider. It’s absurd.

Easy and vital action to take:

Really moving speech from Marcela Mitaynes at the New York Against ICE rally.

"No tengan miedo por que no estan solos. Aquí estamos con ustedes."

"Don't be afraid because you are not alone. We are here with you."

"The fear and uncertainty with which we're forced to live is what Trump wants. He wants us to be afraid. To hide. But now more than ever, we must step up. And do not be afraid because you are not alone. We are here with you." - Marcela Mitaynes

What an outpouring of New Yorkers joining together to protect our communities & say no to ICE. Marching around 26 Federal Plaza where so many are torn from their families.

Shanah Tovah to all our friends and family celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May it be a sweet year filled with advocacy and justice!

Shout it with us (and @teenvogue.com):
Immigrant justice is repro justice

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Governor Hochul still needs to sign critical legislation protecting abortion rights and gender-affirming care in NY State! With attacks from our fascist federal government heating up every day, signing this legislation now is critical -- great info below for how to contact the Governor on this!

"We're gonna keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors."

Our lawmakers are putting their bodies on the line to defend our immigrant friends and neighbors. This matters.

Trump’s administration decided to wastefully destroy $10 million worth of contraception purchased by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for people in low-income countries.

RFK Linking Tylenol To Autism Could Harm Pregnant People’s Health, Doctors Warn Acetaminophen is one of the few drugs that pregnant people can safely use to relieve pain or fever—conditions that, if left untreated, can increase the risk of birth defects and premature delivery.

RFK Linking Tylenol To Autism Could Harm Pregnant People’s Health, Doctors Warn

Psyched for this upcoming event from our friends at @bkforge.bsky.social with @jessicavalenti.bsky.social focused on grassroots engagement and how local advocacy is critical for reproductive justice. Still time to sign up!

HAVE WE MENTIONED HOW THRILLED AND EXCITED WE ARE THAT THE @jessicavalenti.bsky.social WILL BE DOING A Q&A WITH US?!?

@governor.ny.gov could join us in calling for a #SpecialSessionNow to protect NYers from the MAGA budget. Instead, she's cutting off access to healthcare for 450,000 NYers. NYS has the resources to meet NYers' needs -- we just need leaders who are willing to fight for us!

Why is @governor.ny.gov caving to Trump and taking away our healthcare? If she really wants to protect New Yorkers, she'd #taxtherich so every New Yorker can see a doctor without going broke. It's really that simple...and popular!

Protect Abortion and Gender Affirming Care Please take action!

With attacks against abortion and gender-affirming care reaching new heights, it's imperative that New York State be a beacon for anyone seeking care.

Tell Governor Hochul she can solidify NY's reputation as a champion for repro health by signing these three bills ⤵️

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

A reminder than there is no reproductive justice without economic justice. #LaborDay
