Our latest polling just dropped, and the results are unsurprising: this administration is exacerbating centuries of systemic racism.
The solution? #ReproductiveJustice policy solutions to center Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people.

The harm is real: Black workers pushed out of jobs, HBCUs stripped of resources, Black mothers and fathers denied healthcare, and neighborhoods left without protection from floods, asthma, or poisoned water.

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we celebrate the role that birth control plays around the world in giving people control over their bodies and futures. We need policymakers to take action to make birth control methods more accessible and affordable for all in the US and around the world. 💙

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The repercussions of today’s Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic decision will be far-reaching and devastating. For AAPI women and gender-expansive people–especially immigrants who disproportionately rely on Medicaid–this ruling will deepen already existing inequities.

From our friends at Transgender Law Center: The Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth in U.S. v. Skrmetti.
Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care is care. Trans youth deserve safety, support, and the freedom to grow into who they are on their own terms.

Caregiving in AAPI families is an act of love, resilience, and sacrifice, often flowing across generations. But for many women, it also carries a heavy emotional and physical toll.

Medicaid is a lifeline for many people in Asian American and Pacific Islander communities - especially immigrant women, girls, & gender expansive people.
It means access to essential reproductive health care, preventative services, and the ability to care for ourselves and our families.

When queer expression, bodily autonomy, & trans existence is under attack, it’s important to remember the roots of Pride as a protest against police brutality & gender norms. Many Asian & Pacific Islander cultures have long embraced identities & expressions beyond the gender binary.
