🙏 We need your help 🙏

The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like.

We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants:

NIH:

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Still have not heard media coverage of this attempt to ban gender affirming healthcare for trans individuals covered by the ACA. Please submit a public comment against this change.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

You can love LGBTQ+ people all you want, but if you are actively supporting candidates that work to eradicate the rights and equality of LGBTQ+ people, you're not an ally, even if you have LGBTQ+ friends or family #realmamabears #lgbtq #lgbtqrightsarehumanrights #mamabears #mamabear
