"One thing that we need in the state is financial relief for families,” Wolfe said. “This removes about 4% of the sales tax on essential products and especially in lower-income communities" whnt.com/news/alabama-news/state-sales-tax-exemption-for-menstrual-and-baby-products-takes-effect-monday/

We are outraged by the #SCOTUS decision to uphold the dangerous and harmful Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. Our fight does not end here. To every trans young person, we see you, we love you, and we'll NEVER stop fighting for you. 🏳️‍⚧️ Read more at urge.org/press-releas...

Thank you @avaslocum.bsky.social for this @msmagazine.com piece, sparking an important convo on how young people are being impacted by the Trump admin's actions. Read more below including great insight from URGE's Exec. Director Kimberly Inez McGuire and from young activists that work with URGE!✨

The Texas House passed a bill to even further police the bodies of Texans. This “crackdown” on people obtaining abortion pills doesn’t do anything but harm patients and prevent people from receiving essential healthcare. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/bill...

Those who don't respect this flag have never known someone who died defending it.

#PrideMonth is a reminder that our struggles - and our liberation - are deeply intertwined. To build a world where Reproductive Justice is a reality for all, we must center those most impacted.✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Sex Ed should represent all of us – point, blank, period. That’s why we’re uplifting @urge-org.bsky.social’s #SexEdForAllFest, which features powerful, digital art from youth demanding LGBTQIA+ inclusive sex ed. Go to bit.ly/SE4AFest for more info! ll

LGBTQIA+ inclusive sex ed isn't JUST education... it's affirmation for queer and trans youth. 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️ Hear from other young people like Akeem on why sex ed curriculum should center, represent, and respect LGBTQIA+ youth at bit.ly/SE4AFest

#LGBTQIA+ inclusive sex ed is empowering and lifesaving for young people. That's why we launched our #SexEdForAllFest, a digital advocacy project FOR and BY queer and trans youth, who are re-imagining what sex ed looks like. Check it out and uplift: bit.ly/SE4AFest ✨

The latest attacks on Mifepristone by the Trump Administration and RFK Jr. are driven by anti-abortion propaganda, not science. Mifepristone is SAFE + EFFECTIVE healthcare now with rigorous research backing it for over 2 decades. Over 7.5 million patients have used Mife safely. #AbortionAccess

Sex Ed is not just a cis-sue.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We won't stop fighting for comprehensive sexual education until all LGBTQIA+ young people feel supported, respected, and seen in sex ed curriculum. ✊🏽 Sexual education should be inclusive. Period. #SexEdForAllMonth #ReproductiveJustice #LGBTQIAYouth

At this time last year the OPill, aka the first over the counter birth control pill, FINALLY hit store shelves! OTC birth control pills means more young people getting the care they need with less barrier✊🏽 Let's continue fighting for affordable and even greater access!✨ #FreeThePill #ReproJustice

It's no coincidence that the same people coming after abortion access are the same people coming after migrant rights, trans people, affordable healthcare, accessible higher education, and climate initiatives. Our movements are intertwined. #ReproductiveJustice

Anti-abortion extremists are trying to stop us from accessing medication abortion. What they aren’t saying is that those pills are also essential for patients experiencing a miscarriage.

All day and everyday, we #CelebrateAbortionProviders! Abortion providers include: 🌟Doctors 🌟Nurses 🌟Clinic escorts 🌟Funds/mutual aid services 🌟Organizers 🌟Doulas 🌟Activists 🌟Lawyers 🌟Researchers 🌟And so many more! Abortion providers are vital to community. Let's show them our love and support<3

NEW OVERNIGHT: The Department of Defense released guidance implementing President Trump’s cruel executive order banning trans servicemembers from the military. This memo is a COMPLETE BAN on active duty and prospective trans servicemembers. www.reuters.com/world/us/tra...

Abortion is healthcare. Abortion access saves lives. And denying folks access to abortion care is denying them a basic, human right.

Let people (us) enjoy things (abortion)!!!!!

“They will never, no matter what happens, take trans joy away.” Our resilience is in our joy. No politician can take that from us.

Follow and uplift reproductive justice organizations! @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social @ohwomenalliance.bsky.social @ohwomenaf.bsky.social @urge-org.bsky.social @womenwithavision.bsky.social

The U.S. Senate will soon vote on the Trump administration's nominee for HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. RFK Jr. is an anti-science, anti-vax conspiracy theorist who is unqualified to lead our country's healthcare system. We MUST demand that our Senators vote NO and reject RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary!

If confirmed as HHS secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr. would likely seek to implement the dangerous anti-abortion ideology laid out in #Project2025. Our fact sheet breaks down how the leaders of US federal agencies could impact reproductive health and rights: gu.tt/40R1hip

Gender-affirming care is evidence-based, essential healthcare that saves lives. Don't believe the lies and manipulation tactics being spread by hateful lawmakers. Politicians don't belong in our doctor appointments and our medical decisions should be left between doctors and patients🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRights

On Friday evening, President Trump reinstated a broad version of an anti-abortion policy known as the global gag rule, which bans foreign NGOs receiving U.S. aid funds from engaging in abortion advocacy, counseling, or referrals. @garnethenderson.com reports: rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/01/24/t...

Your daily reminder that #ReproductiveJustice is NOT a single-issue framework. 🏳️‍⚧️Trans Justice is Repro Justice. 🦋Migrant Justice is Repro Justice. ✊🏽Racial Justice is Repro Justice. 🌍Climate Justice is Repro Justice. 😷Disability Justice is Repro Justice. 💸Economic Justice is Repro Justice.

#RoeVWade was the floor, not the ceiling. Today marks 52 years since #SCOTUS ruled in Roe v. Wade, and the state of abortion access today underscores the need for us to not only fight for federal abortion protections, but to also eliminate the systemic barriers to access that existed under Roe.

"We WILL shield our immigrant family from abuses of their human rights, we WILL make sure people get gender affirming care AND abortion pills, in the face of whatever bills they pass" -Kimberly Inez McGuire, URGE's Executive Director at the #PeoplesMarch #PeoplesMarchDC

Whatever reason you have for needing an abortion is the right one.

Because our generation is too often told what to do and what to think, rather than having access to the resources necessary to build #ReproJustice in our communities.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Question for our repro justice friends: how are you showing up for #ReproductiveJustice in 2025?🌟
