I say do it! Try to meet the audience where they’re at & gently move the needle. If you understand their stance on the issue and are prepared with responses that encourage critical thinking about the issue, this is a real opportunity. Agree w/ above - try to get questions in advance

Holy propaganda. Was this sent to you?

I’m so gutted 😭

Such helpful and hopeful words of encouragement. Thank you @tiffanylgreen.bsky.social 💛
This is a great push to keep at it and focus on what we can do. Bc it’s so true - if we give up, that f-word wins.🕊️ And thanks for the h/t on folks to follow!

It’s certainly not in any pronatalist playbook I’ve seen….

(Thank you for opening a space to share this, btw.)

About to finish my PhD. My dissertation is on US racial disparities and birth outcomes but my background is in international RH + MCH. I’ve worked on USAID projects for a decade—one of them is slated to be canceled entirely. I am very much not ok. If you’re holding on to hope, I’d love to know how.
