“May we keep building a world where you are held, seen, embraced, and supported. Where your gifts are valued and your needs met. A world with free quality childcare, accessible mental healthcare, affordable good food and housing, access to nature and dignified work with living wages and so much more.” #ThisIsRJ #ReproJustice #FelizDiaDeLasMadres

Economic and racial inequality continues to stand

Economic and racial inequality continues to stand in the way of people getting the care they need, when they need it. One way to bridge gaps in access is making birth control pills available over the counter for those who need them.

💕 Happy #FreeThePill Day! 💕

💊 Birth control is essential health care, and it's time to make it over-the-counter.
Barriers to birth control — from cost, to obtaining a prescription, to transportation, and more — fall disproportionately on people of color and Indigenous peoples, young people, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ folks. 🌟

⏰ It’s time for an over-the-counter birth control pill so we can all have the ability to care for ourselves, our families, and our communities during this time. 💘

They are tipping their hat to the viewer, which has small pills and the letters, 'free the pill' dangling from the brim. They have large silver hoops and are holding a pack of birth control. Behind them is an abstract desert mountain scene and the text, 'birth control is essential health care and should be easy to access.’]

Today and everyday we demand justice for our sisters and family so that one day we no longer have to bring awareness to #MMIW and instead celebrate the lives of Native Wines and Girls.

#WhyWeWearRed
Every Day we remain committed to stopping the epidemic of our #MMIP, we know the violence and extractive industry brings to our land is also violence on our bodies. Protecting the land, sky and water-- is protecting Indigenous bodies.

Join us wearing red today to honor our missing and murdered relatives, May 5th and tag us in our photos so we can amplify your voice.

Great news! Yesterday our co-sponsored bill #AB367

#SB65 is a comprehensive bill that provides vital

#SB65 is a comprehensive bill that provides vital resources and accountability to low-income and pregnant people of color. It was killed by @senmelissahurtado for her own political gain. Her political move impacts millions of Californians across the State.

Senator Hurtado prioritized politics over the lives of Black and Indigenous pregnant people Californians deserve better than that. We demand that Senator Hurtado be removed as Chair of Human Services. No more lives of low income and people of color can be put in jeopardy because of her playing politics!

Raising our children free to live long happy live

Raising our children free to live long happy lives, to feel loved, in health and free of state violence is reproductive justice!

We want to be clear that Justice for Ma’Khia is not possible, justice does not exist with murder, it doesn’t exist with adultified Black girlhoods. Yet, nothing will stop us from demanding police accountability for Ma’Khia, no part of her story rendered her disposable. They will not kill our babies and blame them for their deaths. We will fiercely protect this baby, she was ours.

Please share widely and support us in contacting the Mayor, Interim Police Chief, and City Council of Columbus.

We can not accept murder after murder of our child

We can not accept murder after murder of our children, brothers, sisters, tías, nephews, and sobrinxs at the hands of the police. We demand an end to state violence. We demand an end to the system that has profited from the incarceration and murder of our communities. We will not accept anything less.

The right to raise our children safe and free of violence is reproductive justice ✊🏽
