Abortion opponents have made it clear that they are willing to let working families take on skyrocketing health care costs if it means that billionaires get a tax break.

Trump admin cuts tens of millions from Planned Parenthood The Title X funds were earmarked for birth control and other non-abortion services.

The Trump admin withholding Title X funds further strips health care from people across this country. We know what happens when Title X funding is taken away: cancer goes undetected, birth control access is severely reduced, and the STI crisis worsens. People will suffer.

Trans and nonbinary people are essential to the movement for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

They should be free to live authentically — with dignity and respect. Trans and nonbinary communities deserve that and more. 💞🏳️‍⚧️ #TransDayofVisibility #TDOV #ImForPP

10 Senate Democrats caved on Friday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government.

I also encourage you to oppose the FCC's bogus investigation into PBS and NPR sponsorships, which is clearly a politically motivated excuse to cut public media funding. If the FCC has a problem with its own guidelines, it should change them.

Federal funding safeguards access to 1,500+ local public media stations & their essential services. These investments ensure everyone has access to life-saving emergency information, proven educational resources for children & families, cultural enrichment, community engagement & local journalism.

Urge the new Congress: Safeguard public media

With 70+ newly elected lawmakers, a critical funding deadline March 14, and new calls to defund public media, now is the time to make our voices heard!

Urge the new Congress: Safeguard public media With 70+ newly elected lawmakers, a critical funding deadline March 14, and new calls to defund public media, now is the time to make our voices heard! Email your Members of Congress

Add this to the list of things to contact your members of Congress about: Preserving (or increasing) funding for public media, which only costs $1.60 per taxpayer per year. Peer democracies invest 20 times as much as the US in their public media systems.

Public media including NPR and PBS is a crucial resource for diverse music communities who have been excluded from commercial airplay. The FCC has no jurisdiction over public media funding and shouldn't be raising it.

The Current Gov’s Overwhelm Strategy Don’t let it sink your spirits!

My boss shared this post with our team today. It has helpful reminders including:
1) Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.
2) Feeling overwhelmed is the point.... They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.

This attack on free speech comes at the same time that legislators in Texas are proposing bills to make pro-choice websites illegal.

I really hope folks are paying attention
