This November, I’m voting @YesOnProp1NY to protect abortion rights and our freedoms, including abortion. #Prop1 closes loopholes in the state Constitution so no New Yorker is discriminated against. Join me - pledge to vote for Prop 1: https://t.co/L85IyCvBrT

[Abortion Care Network @AbortionCare]

When we say abortion provider, we mean EVERYONE who works at a clinic - counselors, nurses, doctors, admin, escorts, call center workers, advocates, and more. #CelebrateAbortionProviders by uplifting every team member who makes abortion care possible!

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

We’re thrilled to sign on to this letter to @GovKathyHochul to include the Reproductive Freedom and Equity Fund (RFEF) in the budget. New Yorkers need- and deserve- accessible abortion care.

July 4th is the perfect time for New Yorkers to commit to raising awareness & voting for the NY Equal Rights Amendment, which will protect against discrimination based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability & sex. Watch the video to learn more & get ready to vote in 2024!

[Vote YES on Prop 1 - NYEqualRights @yesonprop1ny]

No matter who’s in office, New Yorkers have the chance to stand up and ensure no one takes our rights by voting YES on the New York Equal Rights Amendment in 2024.

Friday's SCOTUS decision is a relief, but abortion access remains under attack. New York must act now! New Yorkers, please call @GovKathyHochul and urge her to fund the Reproductive Freedom & Equity Program in the NY state budget. Call script in image and in thread below!

Calling on @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @kevinparkernyc @SenatorHarckham @DeborahJGlick @DidiBarrett106 & all NYS leaders: NO rollbacks of NY’s Climate Act! Bill S6030/A6039 would gut NY’s efforts to fight the climate crisis. We need to advance #ClimateJobsJustice

[Karen Wang @kywang02]

I tabled yesterday for the Reproductive Freedom & Equity Program, which would create a sustainable funding mechanism for abortion providers & funds, plus logistical support funds in New York. Join me in calling for funding in the upcoming budget (due 4/1): https://t.co/eD5PkBMn4a

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

We are out calling on @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie to include funding in the FY2024 budget for the Reproductive Freedom & Equity Program. Thanks @ShahanaFromBK @Bobby4Brooklyn @SenatorMyrie for stopping by & showing support! NY needs safe access to abortion care.

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

Thinking about New York’s budget makes us need a drink- we wish @GovKathyHochul would think about supporting small businesses, families and vulnerable communities instead of stadium owners in Buffalo. 🍷

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

We are incredibly disappointed in the current budget; money for a new stadium takes away from childcare, home health care, climate justice and other urgent needs. We call on @GovKathyHochul and @CarlHeastie to remember their promises and step up for New York.

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

We are so excited to join this amazing coalition for such an important event! #sexEdforall

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

Reproductive freedom is a gender, racial and economic justice issue. #SB8 is unconstitutional. So we March and we’ll keep marching. #BKFORGEAhead

[Karen Wang @kywang02]

My activist group is sooooo close to raising $2500 for Callen-Lorde! Anyone want to donate $23 to get us there? 🙏 https://t.co/QqVLM5EDyT - For 50 years, Callen-Lorde has provided health care to NYC’s LGBTQ communities, regardless of ability to pay. Let’s show them our support!

[BKForge (formerly WHARR) @BKForgeAhead]

Thanks to all those who joined us last night for our #Pride Picnic In the Park! There are 9 hours left to raise $ for our fave CHC @CallenLorde so please click the link to show your appreciation and gratitude for their care and love for our community!

Join us at the Old Stone House garden on Tuesday, June 29*, 6-8 pm to honor the resilience of our WHARR community, celebrate Pride, and raise funds for @CallenLorde

Solitary confinement is disproportionately inflicted on Black and Latinx New Yorkers, young people, people with mental illness, and gender non-conforming people. The people and legislature of NYS have spoken, and @NYGovCuomo should sign #HALTsolitary now.

[Karen Wang @kywang02]

As a NYS constituent, I urge @NYGovCuomo to sign the #HALTsolitary bill into law immediately. Solitary confinement is torture that causes immense suffering. Last year, solitary confinement led to a surge in suicide and self-harm in NYS prisons. This is unacceptable.
