TODAY at 2:30 pm ET ⏰ Pregnancy Justice President Lourdes A. Rivera will testify before the @JudiciaryDems on how efforts to give embryos and fetuses legal rights have led to abortion bans, pregnancy criminalization, and threats to IVF and contraception.

When Roe v. Wade was overruled, the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority revoked a constitutional right for the first time.
It’s unleashed chaos across America, and Republicans are pushing for a national abortion ban.
We must protect reproductive freedom. https://t.co/psvkDq0Fn7
Our people and communities deserve organizations and movements that exude joy, build power, and secure critical victories for working people.

Abortion liberation is more than keeping abortion legal; it’s about access, freedom, equality, and justice. Together, we demand the future we know is possible: compassionate and affordable abortion care readily available in our communities, with love & support. #LiberateAbortion
@ReproRights I'm in awe of the fierce women of color and allies fighting for what is right. I'm in shock that we're in this precarious state. And I'm so proud of @LourdesARivera and @ReproRights at this pivotal moment.
As #SCOTUS prepares to hear the case that directly challenges #RoevWade, we must come together and defend EVERY person's right to an abortion. #AbortionIsEssential to the pursuit of reproductive & racial justice in every city, state and nation around the world.
RT if you agree: Everyone should have access to the contraceptive care they want and need, whoever they are & wherever they live. #FreeThePill#WorldContraceptionDay

I have a number of thoughts and deep concerns about Dr. Oxiris Barbot’s resignation today - as the Chair of the Council’s Hospitals Committee, as a Latina, and as a woman. I hope you'll read my full statement below.
The impacts that systems of oppression and racism at all levels of government have had on Black and Brown people in this country have been a public health crisis for far longer than #COVID19.
A-Doc Members call on the Asian American community, doc film industry, media educators, & broader public to rise up in solidarity with the nation-wide Black-led liberation movement. Read the full letter: https://t.co/gtpqzFbXBv

Pandemic #COVID19 & endemic racism kill Black & Brown people disproportionately. One eventually goes away w/ massive resources mobilized to attack it; other remains for centuries w/ massive resources mobilized to maintain power structure it feeds. Both are public health crises.
