“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.”

“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.”
English
“The claim that all state legislatures are carrying out the will of people in their states needs a reality check. Abortion is on the ballot in 10 states precisely because people don’t feel listened to by their anti-abortion lawmakers.”
English
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.”

“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
English
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.

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!
