#BlackWomen continue to take up space in places that matter the most!
Today’s inspiration is Democratic Rep. #KarenBass who has been elected mayor of #LosAngeles making her the first woman to hold the role.

Here's how @ChristineDrazan plans to restrict abortion access in the state of #Oregon if she becomes governor. Yes, it's in our state constitution - but here's how she still will derail access. A🧵 1/

Libra is the only candidate in this race that will fight to protect the right to choose. Paul Savas is supported by the Oregon Right to Life. Meanwhile, Libra is supported by groups that elevate women's voices.

I live in east PDX, not in the West Hills. I live across the street from an RV encampment, & walk along streets that lack sidewalks. I’ve witnessed shootings from my living room, & I’ve attended vigils for those killed on our dangerous roadways. I know food deserts all too well.
But now rich special interests & downtown property owners are trying to undermine this election.
They’re dumping $180k into a candidate that has literally never successfully fought for a vote on the County board.
If you can’t convince your colleagues, you can’t govern. I can.
Without reservation, I'm voting for Jessica Vega Peterson in the race for Multnomah County Chair. Her opponent is another downtown business candidate- bought and paid for. JVP is an accomplished leader who will make a difference in the fight to end homelessness. #orpol
V important thread about the reality vs reporting on medication 💊 abortion and self-managed abortion (also: #SMA and #abortionpills are not one and the same!)
There's a lot of reporting out there about self-managed abortion and how people are getting abortion pills. Some reporters are getting it VERY wrong.
If you’re writing about the way people access abortion pills, we want to remind you what the law actually is.
Proud to be on #TeamJVP with so many of our key partners in community. ❤️ Ballots are out this week! Don’t forget to check out our voter’s guide before you mail yours in!

#TeamJVP includes environmental organizations I've worked with to pass Coal to Clean & the clean fuels standard, including @OLCV & @ORSierraClub; and advocacy groups fighting for reproductive rights & the rights of working families like @prochoiceoregon & @motherpac.
Two reminders: 1. @ChristineDrazan sponsored abortion ban after abortion ban. Including one to throw abortion providers in jail for providing basic health care. 2. A vote for @senbetsyjohnson is a faux-choice. It’s a spoiler vote for Drazan.
#Tellyourfriends VOTE @Tina4Oregon
🛑Share with your friends and family:
@ChristineDrazan sponsored legislation that could throw doctors in jail for providing abortion care.
Governors are now the last line of defense for our reproductive rights and Drazan’s anti-abortion views are too extreme for Oregon.
@AllAboveAll has just named their new President, and she’s one heck of bad ass #abortionjustice movement leader! 💚 Meet the myth, the legend, Morgan Hopkins! 🥰 🧵👇🏽
Congratulations @theFword527!
As we face the most difficult landscape for abortion and reproductive health in 50 years, we are excited for you all to get to know our new President, Morgan Hopkins, and her vision for All* Above All.🧵

.@ChristineDrazan and her right-wing agenda would move Oregon backwards.
I am the only candidate who will defend our reproductive rights, stand up to extremism and fight for working families across Oregon.
Follow the money… And if the idea of Oregon electing anti-abortion extremist as our next Governor—or having to contend with a split Legislature makes you🤢—Consider making a contribution to @TinaKotek or any one of the 74 #prochoicechampion. https://t.co/KNwL0fn4sB
Taking away your reproductive freedom is a top GOP priority.
As @Time reports, abortion access is on the ballot here in Oregon too.
I am the only candidate in this race endorsed by @PPAdvocatesOR, @ProChoiceOregon, @MotherPAC & @NARAL. https://t.co/lZRvgJuh4R
Honored to stand with so many community leaders and Clackamas County candidates to defend our right to make decisions about our own bodies. We need leaders at all levels of government who are committed to protecting our fundamental personal freedoms. #orpol
