It has been two months since the heinous acts of terror committed by Hamas. Rape as a weapon of war is never acceptable & silence is complicity. To the world leaders & women's orgs who haven’t spoken out - we invite you to do so. @AllHumansGlobal #UnitedAgainstRape

Tomorrow, as we enter Shabbat this week — and every week until all the captives are safely returned — we invite you to save a seat at your Shabbat table in honor of the 200+ hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

Our statement on the horrific attacks in Israel today:

Abortion does NOT cause issues with infertility. Misinformation is intentionally circulated by anti abortion groups. Medical abortions are safer than many outpatient procedures. Pregnancy can occur immediately after an abortion once sexually active.

I am thrilled to introduce State Court Report, a new resource & commentary hub covering constitutional developments across the 50 states. State courts & constitutions are important sources of rights. Let's give them the attention they deserve. statecourtreport.org

As the Supreme Court has grown more powerful, so have individual justices who have unchecked lifetime tenure. This is no way to run a democracy. Tell Congress: We need Supreme Court term limits now ⬇️ bit.ly/3Y3Zrbe
