I remember Hawai’i without legal abortion. Rich girls went to Japan “on vacation” when they “got in trouble.” Poor girls went to back doors in Chinatown, where some bled to death or got septicemia. Docs testified about this, and our then union-backed leg listened.

[18 Million Rising @18millionrising]

A reminder when talking about abortion that:
Queer people get abortions!
Trans people get abortions!
Intersex people get abortions!
The fight for abortion rights is for all of us.

Yes, we need to vote in our fight for justice. But we also need to organize and find ways to build power outside of the intermittent and sometimes restricted choices provided by elections every. Single. Day.

This isn't over, this isn't final. Abortion is still legal in the U.S., and we won't stop fighting until reproductive freedom truly is for *every* body. Tonight's news from the Supreme Court is devastating. Whatever you're feeling right now, we are there with you 1/2

Let’s make sure our elected represent all of us! If you’re thinking about running a campaign, join this free training tonight:

@electrituja @SamChoWA @voteno976 @WAFairness Last, but not least, we encourage a NO! vote on #I976! We're a growing state, and we must protect funding for the transportation initiatives and programs that will ensure that our community can get around the State! #WAElex #WAVotes #NoOn976 @voteno976
