here's what we can do, virtually, in protest of SCOTUS' decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In this thread, you'll find things from accounts/organizations to follow and support, how to find your local abortion fund, and your rights when protesting in-person:
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
Here it is, folks - the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant piece of anti-gun violence legislation in nearly 30 years.
This bill is going to save thousands of lives.
1/ We just released the text. Let me tell you what it does:
Tonight there will be 21 empty beds in Texas. In Buffalo, there are 10 empty chairs at the dinner table. Today, together with advocates across the country, we are saying enough is enough. If our Republican colleagues won’t join us, in November, we march to the ballot box.
Assault weapons didn’t even exist when the Second Amendment was written. We have to stop allowing people to use a sentence written centuries ago when technology, times, humanity were completely different, to dictate how we regulate gun ownership, & how we protect our kids today.
To ask teachers to be on the front line of mass shootings, the front line of a pandemic, and the front line of the struggle against inequality all while underpaying them and systematically underfunding the education system is both cruel and a recipe for societal collapse.
Sen. Chris Murphy delivers remarks on Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting: “What are we doing? What are we doing?…This only happens in this country and nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day." https://t.co/Zh3OvUaIwm
