On this anniversary of the Dobbs decision, look to the helpers. This episode of our podcast is about Upper Midwest abortion funds doing what they can to ferry people to Minnesota (and within Minnesota) to get abortions—it's a great episode! genderjustice.us/podcast/roe-v-…

The rights you take for granted today could vanish in the next election if you don't spell them out somewhere. That's why the Equal Rights Amendment has to remain a priority — and why we need to elect lawmakers who will prioritize it. startribune.com/the-end-of-an-…

“There's no reason for this care to be siloed.” AMEN. This trend of primary care integrating medication or procedural abortions, usually in early pregnancy, is growing in states where abortion is legal. Including here in Minnesota. npr.org/sections/shots…

Earlier this year on the #GenderJusticeBrief, @MeganJPeterson spoke with @pauavilg about @SomosJacarandas, leading Latin America's Green Wave movement that has decriminalized abortion in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico 2/2 genderjustice.us/podcast/green-…

As abortion is tightly restricted and even banned in states across the U.S., what can activists glean from the experiences of activists in countries where abortion has been criminalized for decades? inthesetimes.com/article/self-m… 1/2 via @inthesetimesmag
