As a solo founder, I received tons of advice on how to run a business, but little on how to build the *kind of team* I knew I needed. Advancing my mission would require building an equitable team aligned around a core set of values. Here’s what I've learned (+10 reading recs) 🧵

So you think you have a right to contraception? ➡️ This is a three part series on The Right to Contraception Act that failed in the Senate on June 5th, 2024.

Part 2 of 3: Yes, we should be scared.

Whether a patient is seeking pregnancy care or contraceptive care, the law should not impinge on their ability to get health care.

It is our collective responsibility to advocate for the medical and nonmedical benefits of contraceptive access and protect this human right.

Much like abortion rights, contraceptive access could become a pawn in a political game where the only ones getting hurt are women.

Next up: what we have to lose.

So which is it? How can we trust states to protect contraceptive access when there are bills working their way through state legislatures that threaten to ban safe, highly effective, and popular methods like the IUD? (Not to mention: birth control is medicine.)
