TODAY: People impacted by human rights abuses in the United States will testify during the "People's UPR."
Here is a preview of remarks from Pearl Ricks of @ReJACNOLA, a member of our coalition, who will speak alongside Irma Leticia Garcia of @JanesDueProcess.
Plan B NOLA wouldn’t be possible without our community of volunteers, partners and outposts committed to reproductive justice and accessible care. 💜

Very happy that today's decision moves GA's ban from 6 wks to 22 wks for now. People still need support–give to @ARC_Southeast. And later abortion seekers will still be denied care. But let's look at the language from the decision (hint, it ain't all puppies and rainbows): 🧵
#Mpox (formerly monkeypox) is on the rise again. If you or a loved one is at a higher risk of contracting the virus, play it safe! 🦠
Call one of the vaccination locations we’ve shared or contact the New Orleans Health Department for a no-cost vaccine. 🏥
#WorldContraceptionDay commemorates the importance of contraception and by extension, bodily autonomy.
@opill_otc is the first-ever progestin-only OTC birth control pill in the United States. 🥳
No RX, no ID and no estrogen. ❌
We don't gatekeep care, you can pick up free emergency contraception (EC) kits at locations all over the city.

What exactly is #ReproductiveJustice and how is it different from reproductive health? Maternal health experts Dr. Monica R. McLemore and Dr. Karen Scott do a great job of defining RJ and its four pillars:

We are happy to say we killed hb648 in #lalege
We did so by building and working in community with amazing, strong individuals and organizations. #protecttranskids
BREAKING: Senators have chosen to protect Louisiana’s transgender children and rejected HB648! This harmful bill will NOT advance to the Senate floor. This is a POWERFUL WIN for transgender kids and their families! #lalege
Later today, the #lalege House will vote on whether to lock up minors in adult prisons.
Downstairs, we're hearing that minors aren't mature enough to understand their own health care.
None of this is about protecting kids. It's about imposing adults' political will.
Are you or someone you know in need of reproductive hygiene products? Stop by the WWAV office to pick up FREE pads, panty liners and tampons! WWAV's drop in hours are Mon - Fri 10AM to 4PM & their new offices are located at 2028 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
Reminder that Roe is the floor, not the ceiling. Abortion shouldn’t just be technically legal, it should be legal, accessible, and judgement-free. We can dream so much bigger.
