@JakeAndersss @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 I agree, Jake. The first step is certainly raising the voices of the community and listening to their lived experiences

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 I think it depends on what we mean by “fully seen” - we have to ask ourselves if an outsider is capable of fully seeing another community, or just their perception of that community colored by their own lived experiences, biases, beliefs, etc

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 because the existing corpus’ fabric is woven with racism it is necessary for the new corpus to be built entirely separate from existing structures. Intersectionality, human rights, and inclusive language should be prioritized

@sophie_hoffer @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 well said, Sophie. I agree - it is necessary to build a new system

@WolfeElly @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 I totally agree, Eleanor. Without consequences for not abiding by them, laws are just a piece of paper that countries can - and will - ignore

[Genevieve @gml2168]

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 Dobbs clearly illustrates the limitations of employing international human rights laws. Without hard power to back the enforcement, countries that are powerful themselves know they can skirt around the laws

@alysalvar @AKayumAhmed1 I agree - in this country, there’s a fundamental disagreement about what falls under the scope of the right to health #P8607

@AKayumAhmed1 I fear that the greatest window of opportunity for rebellion in regard to sexual and reproductive health in this country (following the overturning of Roe v. Wade) has already passed. In terms of rebellion seeking UHC for the US, I fear complacency has taken a strong hold #P8607
