January 20th is MLK Jr Day. Instead of watching another old white man get sworn in to be president, volunteer with friends instead.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights.

Read about his lasting legacy.

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE

#ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION.

REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription.

In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!
