SCOOP: Planned Parenthood of Greater New York—an affiliate facing budget shortfalls—is selling its Manhattan health center, management told staff today. Plan is to close the Bleecker St clinic, where PP has operated for three decades, and move staff and patients to the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn

Some Roe anniversary mind expansion.....

ATTN: TEXANS! Repro action alert! The Afiya Center is organizing a campaign to demand #txlege release maternal mortality data from '22 and '23 -- after the Dobbs decision. Fill in your address and the form auto-sends to your state reps + health officials!

I know folks largely mean well. But nothing tells me we have different goals more than “Roe is the floor.” What do I mean by that?

I’m gonna channel my anger into being really annoying to fascists at @nycforabortion.bsky.social clinic defense tomorrow

As predicted, the fall of Roe has led to worsening violence in states where abortion remains legal. Cops aren’t keeping clinics safe. Is it time to try a new approach? https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2023/06/12/anti-abortion-and-fascist-violence-are-one-and-the-same-clinics-are-paying-the-price/

we talked to @garnethenderson.bsky.social for this very important piece 👇

Want to rep NYC and being pro-abortion? You have until MAY 31st to get a tee from our design drop!! All proceeds go directly to the New York Abortion Access Fund, New York State’s only abortion fund. Last month we raised over $4,000 — let’s keep it going! bit.ly/nyaaf-tees

NEW from Shane Burley in Truthout about the long history of abortion clinic defense as anti-fascist action. A reminder that we do clinic defenses on the first Saturday of every month in Soho! https://truthout.org/articles/abortion-clinic-defense-needs-to-be-seen-as-a-key-part-of-anti-fascism/

If you look a bit deeper, this isn’t some “rightward swing” on Revcom’s part. They’ve ALWAYS held these beliefs. Last year @nycforabortion.bsky.social made an excellent call out for their front group “Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights” and the transphobia and anti-blackness they manifest

TOMORROW at 5pm at Foley Square in Downtown Manhattan, we will be mobilizing alongside many NYC groups to demand an end to Copmayor Eric Adams’ austerity budget and slashing of public services and demand we prioritize community wellbeing over policing. Join us!

IF YOU KNOW PEOPLE IN MINNEAPOLIS/ST.PAUL, tell them to come out at 7pm tonight at the State Capitol to support Planned Parenthood workers against their CEO’s union busting! They have fired two union leaders and disciplined the entire bargaining team.

The Black maternal mortality rate in the US is insane. In Mississippi—where Dobbs hailed from—it is 75 more times dangerous for Black women to give birth than to get an abortion. SEVENTY-FIVE TIMES. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/05/14/black-doulas-maternal-mortality-rate/

We just released a statement calling in Planned Parenthood leadership. This is not an attack on individual workers at PP who are doing vital work, but rather a declaration that the problem of resource distribution and neoliberal politics in the reproductive rights space must be confronted. 1/2
