[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Thank you, @GwenWalz, for sharing your story—it is a powerfully important way to clarify the stakes of this fight.

Republican extremists are coming for reproductive freedom across the country. We must stop them at the ballot box this November.

[Kathy Hochul @KathyHochul]

Gwen’s story is the story of millions of women choosing to start a family.

Reproductive freedom is on the ballot this November. Trust women, vote for Harris-Walz 2024.

[Gwen Walz @GwenWalz]

It’s never easy to tell my fertility journey, but the stakes are too high.

This election, we have the chance to protect our reproductive freedoms by electing @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz. https://t.co/lJHcSiSMdc

“It becomes clear that humor is a buoy in the vast sea of her intense, serious job. Karine infuses meetings with a gentle warmth and laughter.”

In April, @CurrieEngel from @WomensHealthMag spent a day with @PressSec. Here’s how it went:

[Secretary Xavier Becerra @SecBecerra]

Latorya, Kendall, Elizabeth, Julie, and Eli are all women I met with when I visited Alabama this week.

Their stories are powerful and heart-wrenching – emblematic of the chaos caused in the state by the IVF ruling that Dobbs has cleared the way for.

[SCAD Alliance @SCADalliance]

#SCAD featured in @WomensHealthMag! The voices of SCAD survivors and experts make it clear #SCADheart should be at the forefront of heart disease research--ahem, and funding.

Kind of totally wild this is STILL such an issue after we reported on this in 2021/2022. Great reporting work by @AlexPutterman

[Dan Brechlin @danbrechlin]

Numerous complaints against a camp in CT were substantiated last year and the camp closed voluntarily. But the camp, like many others across the state, faced no discipline and reopened this summer.

This is a truly fascinating piece by @RaeWitte !!!

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

Did you know that Barbie creator Ruth Handler created some of the very first lifelike prosthetic breasts for women who'd had mastectomies? I didn't!! This piece explores the history behind Handler's own cancer diagnosis, mastectomy, and continued advocacy. https://t.co/5gSra13PWw

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

Driven by her own frustration at the lack of options (which included a sock stuffed in a bra!), Handler's product changed the breast cancer world. She was the 1st to make children’s dolls have an adult figure, but she also helped survivors reconnect with their bodies again.

[Lydia Wang @lydiaetc]

it’s so heartbreaking to watch this happen (again and again and again) to some of the most talented people I know.

if anyone in media is hiring, please let me know, and I can put you in touch w/ some truly amazing writers and editors ❤️

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

~75% of college students said repro health laws in their college’s state are at least somewhat important in the decision to stay enrolled, and 60% of people without a degree yet say the laws are at least somewhat important in where they go, according to a 2023 Gallup Poll.

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade last year caused serious ripple effects. For @WomensHealthMag I wrote about how, for the 1st time in 2 generations, young women have to decide where to go to college in a world where their repro rights are not guaranteed. https://t.co/PKpIow7mbK

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

For this piece, I talked to 3 young women from different backgrounds who are considering their college choices, to experts, college admissions officers, and activists to understand how Roe’s overturning has changed the higher education application process.

[Emilie Munson @emiliemunson]

CT's Society of Professional Journalists @CTSPJ awarded our @Hearst Newspapers' investigation "When Schools Use Force" its Stephen A. Collins Public Service Award. Honored to accept this with @mrochele, @AlexPutterman, @LibbySeline and @act_rational. Thank you!

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

This deep-dive into the housing challenges LGBTQ youths in our country face has some pretty staggering stats, and some absolutely stellar reporting. Give it a read!! https://t.co/or4wuanOVt

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

Helping Christina share her story has been *the* highlight of the past year. So so proud of the team over here @WomensHealthMag and Kimber, who created such BEAUTIFUL, powerful art for the piece. If you haven't had the chance to read Christina's story yet, go read!!

@MulliganMed 💕💕TGs forever!!!

[Kathleen Mulligan, MD @MulliganMed]

My friend @CurrieEngel wrote this beautiful piece about how important music can be to our identities and our lives 💙🧡 tigressions forever

[Currie Engel @CurrieEngel]

I wrote this essay for our Music-themed print edition (on stands now!)— there’s a fascinating and deep psychological connection between our music (i.e. voices) & brain. I learned how essential it was when I lost my voice. And that’s why I started writing in the first place.

[Women's Health @WomensHealthMag]

When a voice disorder meant that associate news editor Currie Engel was unable to sing or talk properly, she realized just how much her own “music” was connected to who she was. https://t.co/idcHuM2Fvd
