Prosecuting pregnancy loss is on the rise.

It’s because antis, cops, and prosecutors use old, sexist laws on the books to punish people for how their pregnancy ends.

We’ve got a plan to repeal them. And we’ve already tested it and won in WA and CA

No better Mother’s Day gift y’all.
A few mamas and caregivers will get the best gift of their lives this Mother’s Day: freedom.

It’s that time of year – we’re bailing out Black mamas and caregivers with your support for Mother’s Day!

Meanwhile, a black lung epidemic is tearing through Appalachia, killing men as young as their 30s. And the Trump admin just defunded NIOSH, the worker health agency that’s been tracking it. inthesetimes.com/article/coal...

A 4-year-old boy died from Ebola in Uganda on Monday, according to a State Department cable viewed by The New York Times. His death comes as the Trump administration has canceled at least four of the five contracts with organizations that helped manage the outbreak in the country.

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time
Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

“Criminalizing being unhoused and using a police first, housing last approach does nothing to promote health and wellbeing.”

Policing is about punishing people for being poor, instead of offering real support.

Housing for all is repro justice. #HousingNotHandcuffs #CareNotCops
“I’m waiting for an ambulance. I might be going into labor. Is that okay?”

“You’re being detained because you’re unlawfully camping.”

Chilling body cam footage shows police detaining and citing a homeless woman who is in active labor.
