No matter what happens this week, Southerners will still desperately need abortion funds to access abortion. Period.
If abortion is a political priority for you, show it by donating to and supporting your local abortion funds.

We surveyed Indiana state legislative candidates for their positions on issues that impact the health of Hoosiers! See the results of the survey on our site so YOU know where they stand on your health on Election Day! goodtroubleindiana.org/

If you’re organizing in higher ed arm yourself with this critical new book. We have to understand how tech is changing higher ed so we can adapt our strategies accordingly.
Grateful to Miranda Melcher of @NewBooksNetwork for the opportunity to talk with her this week about my book, Conceiving Christian America: Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics. Have a listen here or on other podcast platforms! newbooksnetwork.com/conceivi…

"Part of what upholds abortion bans is a silence - and that is exactly what they're trying to do," says Dr. Caitlin Bernard. "Until we are able to speak out, whether that's in the media or through our vote, that silence will continue."

If you live in Indiana
Or really anywhere in the U.S.
Know that there are groups that want to punish people after tragic personal family situations
This op-ed hopes to shine a light on this
Please read and share

Celebrating 30 years of #ReproductiveJustice with @BlackWomensRJ 💛
30 years ago, 12 Black Women in Chicago laid the groundwork for the RJ movement, strategizing to spotlight Black Women's reproductive health concerns. Join us in honoring their legacy: bit.ly/RJ30AnniversaryCard
ALT The image is an illustration celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Reproductive Justice, featuring stylized portraits of diverse women representing the founding mothers of the Reproductive Justice movement. The text at the top left reads, "Honoring the 30th Anniversary of Reproductive Justice." On the right side of the image, there is a bold graphic stating "I AM A REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE VOTER" with a red download button below. The text underneath the button reads "bit.ly/RJVoter2024Toolkit" and "Hashtag RJVoter." The overall design emphasizes unity, empowerment, and a call to action to download the toolkit and become an RJ Voter.
As a happy listener of @Undisciplinary_, it was a genuine treat to talk with @chrisRmayes and @janewilliams141 about the racist & religious politics propelling right-wing attacks on reproductive rights & justice. "Embryo personhood" is about far more than abortion or IVF.
New episode!
@chrisrmayes & @janewilliams141 talk with @rcromer about ‘embryo adoption’, race & evangelical reproduction politics in the US. undisciplinary.buzzsprout.co…
