"The Hartford Public Library has lost a $450,000 grant for a program intended to “remove key barriers along the path to citizenship.” Several cities, including Bridgeport and Waterbury, have lost funding under the Inflation Reduction Act intended to remove lead from local homes."

For at least a decade, @ppsne.bsky.social has been my provider for routine + preventative sexual & reproductive health care.
As they continue to provide care, no matter what, while facing threats to Title X funding, we will always stand with them & call on our elected leaders to do the same.

Opinion: Abortion providers need appreciation, protection, support
CT's shield law does not protect telehealth reproductive health providers —leaving doctors who may want to help out-of-state patients unable to do so.

As the first state to pass a shield law in the country, this is why we are committed to ensuring CT’s shield provisions are strengthened to telemedicine providers, regardless of the location of their patients, in the upcoming 2025 legislative session. www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/release...
