I'm a reproductive rights organizer & State Senate candidate. Last night, after speaking at our Roe rally, my Republican opponent – a police officer – violently attacked me.
This is what it is to be a Black woman running for office. I won't give up.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
If you want to save kids, take a 10 second look at the adoption system in America. Look at how kids suffer every day from inability to eat 3 meals. Look at how we support single parents, and contraceptives. LOOK AT HOW WE SUPPORT GUNS. It isn’t about saving kids wake the fuck up.
Disgustingly sad day for every human who actually believes in women’s rights, and naturally human rights. Women should have complete and unilateral control over what happens to their bodies, end of discussion.
This is not pro life. This is not saving kids. This is horse shit.
I cry thinking about my family and friends in Kyiv
I’m "lucky" that I’m not at home, but you can’t even imagine how much I want to be there
Tomorrow I want to think about IEM Katowice and only
We don't need regrets, We need support, thank you everyone who cares #navination
