The ACLU of Kentucky is fortunate to have a strong leader with vision.

"It often feels like we are being backed into a corner because of our values," Savannah Trebuna, director of Kentucky Health Justice Network’s abortion fund, said. "We are not going to concede to this funding crisis."

In June, national organizations announced abrupt cuts to the financial assistance they provide to abortion patients, plunging the entire ecosystem into chaos. Abortion fund leaders told @garnethenderson that things have “never been even close to this bad” rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/08/13/fol…

@DeAngelisCorey Of course, the only reason this activity is illegal is because the majority party changed the law, quite recently, in anticipation of backlash to their shitty ballot amendment. But sure, pretend the school administrators are nefarious criminals.

BREAKING: Pulaski County Schools just REMOVED this post that illegally advocated against the school choice ballot measure from their official Facebook account, district website, and all individual school websites 🚨
They engaged in illegal electioneering & are now backpedaling.

Abortion might be legal… in some places, but can you get one without losing a paycheck? Or driving +200 miles? Or have someone who can care for your kids? Or worry about all the logistical hoops to jump through while traveling and having a disability? Legal is just not enough.

I took a blessed mini-social media-break this week, and apparently that was a good idea, because the number of social media managers whitewashing #LovingDay would have shadowed my family time with BLIND RAGE.
Educate yourselves.

Just 57 years ago, interracial marriage was illegal in parts of the U.S. That changed June 12, 1967, when Mildred & Richard Loving — represented by the ACLU — won their case at the US Supreme Court. Happy #LovingDay, y'all. Read more about them here: lovingday.org
