I write, jog, bake, do reproductive justice stuff . Although not usually in that order.

The Missouri Supreme Court has temporarily blocked access to abortion in the state, despite a new amendment to the State Constitution, passed by voters, that ensures such access.

My guest essay for @nytimes.com about Adriana Smith. This situation is a tragedy from top to bottom, and there is so much complexity that can't be teased out in so few words. May she and the family left behind find peace soon.

Yellowhammer Fund won its lawsuit against Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. The court made it clear: Alabama’s laws do not extend beyond state lines to penalize people for getting or assisting with legal healthcare elsewhere.

Supplies, volunteers, extra hands are needed. Kayla Reed with Action St. Louis and Ohun Ashe with For The Culture STL have been lifesavers. They’ve organized 1,000s of volunteers quicker than the city or state was able to do anything. Ohun’s video shows you what to expect when volunteering.
