“Let me be clear: this rejection of this ‘return to the states’ argument doesn’t mean we should reduce the power of state legislatures...Power should be used to support our communities, not to control them.”
.@SixAction aims to “transform state legislatures into entities that work for us, not against us.” Read @_jenniferdriver’s full piece in @CourierNewsroom and learn more about our work: sixaction.org/
“There is no democracy when our votes are gerrymandered and our elected representatives are beholden to interest groups rather than their constituents...The model we have today has created a tale of two states, with haves and have-nots.”
Anti-abortion politicians have a new go-to line: let the states decide. @_jenniferdriver, our senior director of reproductive rights, takes them to task in her op-ed @CourierNewsroom. Check out some highlights below 📷:

“These anti-abortion politicians are lying to us...They support a national ban on abortion ... and will decimate our fundamental freedoms the minute they’re in office.”

"These anti-abortion politicians are lying to us. They are using [a] sound bite... to hide their extremist views on abortion."
For COURIER, @_JenniferDriver of @SiXAction explains why letting abortion laws be decided by states is dangerous. couriernewsroom.com/news/jen…

🏆 On 9/24 @RepNikema will introduce a resolution in Congress that commends state & local governments for championing #reprorights as #humanrights.
We are proud to stand with partners to ensure abortion is respected as a fundamental human right. Because #AbortionIsEssential.
Today, SiX Action, @LocalProgress, and 180 state & local elected officials across 40 states are sounding the alarm on the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, a corporate-backed effort to strip local and state governments of their ability to regulate the ag industry.
“Tacking the EATS Act to the Farm Bill is nothing short of a deceitful attempt by corporate agribusiness to prevent communities from having self-determination over their local food system," said SiX's @kendrakimbir

State and local govts must have the ability to protect farm workers, ensure food safety and animal welfare, and uphold environmental standards.
The EATS Act would take that away.
That's why LP & @stateinnovation are telling Congress to #DefeatEATS!
