Abortion rights are under attack. If we don't act now Trump will sign a National Abortion Ban within the next 2 years. @POTUS Biden must protect abortion rights before he leaves office by publishing the Equal Rights Amendment. Take action at PublishEraNow.org #ERANow

✨This new approach will save lives and build systems of care that are rooted in improving the well-being of all communities. Support creating safer communities today. Sign the petition to support the passage of the PRA at m4blaction.link/PRCPetition!

⚖️The People's Response Act (PRA) looks to expand solutions to harm and safety that our communities have long been championing. The PRA emphasizes and adopts an inclusive, and health-centered approach to public safety.

🗣️There is clear support among Black Americans for investing in evidence-informed community safety solutions that would center de-escalation, mental-health support, and approaches that do not rely on punishment or force. We need your support today to make this a reality!

⚖️We also took action with @eatorgchicago activists this week, marching for reparations to let Congress know that the time for reparations is NOW! Justice without repair isn’t true justice, and it’s time for our communities to be healed and restored. 3/3
