Abortion is healthcare. The only time that healthcare can be unlawful is when it contributes to the personal agency of womxn, birthing people, Black people, BIPOC, queer and trans people, disabled people, immigrant people, and anyone else studied as the “other”

“Parents miss court dates normally because they’re caring for children" and this program is addressing that.

Say it with me: Child. Care. Makes. The. World. Go. Round.

Picture this. An investor from the U.S. buys an abandoned building in Puerto Rico for $108k. Holds it for 7 years untouched and lists it for $360k.

In the meantime, locals illegally enter and use it to cook for ppl after the hurricane.

The “squatters” get to keep the building.

And especially grateful to @WitnessingRaven and Liz @DCDoulas for Choice for sharing more about the work they do to provide support for people across the full spectrum of reproductive health care experiences, from abortion to labor to postpartum.

[National Partnership @NPWF]

Power of narrative film + storytelling makes visible and can de-stigmatize experience of having an abortion. Full spectrum doulas Raven Freeborn @WitnessingRaven and Elizabeth Bastías-Butler delivered compelling testimony. Check out the MISO doc. https://t.co/vyhYw019lb

🎉IT'S OFFICIAL: All anti-abortion bills this #VALeg were DEFEATED. HB2476, the last anti-abortion bill, was killed this morning.

Let's be clear: These bills are nothing but political intrusion into our reproductive healthcare decisions. They don't belong in VA or anywhere.

3+ years into a pandemic, the general public is still generally confused about what to do when they test positive for COVID19.

So let me walk you through what I, an infectious disease epidemiologist public health nurse, am doing since I tested positive on a rapid antigen today.

Hi! I’m a grad student doing a project on race/surveillance/school discipline and could use some help. In 1970, June Jordan and Terri Bush collected poetry from 25 brown and black children living in Brooklyn. If you have any leads on the whereabouts of these people, please DM me!

The Freeborn’s definitely had our strategy session including Flipchart paper. Here are our family valies & a reflection of 2022 broken down in quarters (A-D). This all happened at the Inaugural Freeborn Family Financial Conference that we organized for ourselves!
