hi folks! I've been in ArtsWatch meetings all day and I'm scrambling to get my head around this appeals info because I was only able to make it to the first part of the webinar, but I'll be opening up in about 2 hours at the Zoom link in this article for anyone (Oregon or not) who needs help!
all right everybody, here we go

links, trackers, webinars, templates, and all the free support you need if you just got that nightmare NEA email on Friday

please share far and wide, you do NOT have to be in Oregon to use these resources

This.

You're going to get sick of me saying this by November (sorry!), but please consider today yet another reminder re: adopting a Senator, and making sure we can hold onto the Senate.

Why? Judicial noms.

I'm v. worried about the Senate and we very much need all hands on deck.
I keep thinking of the court we could have had… *bangs head gently on table*

BIG NEWS:
Florida certified enough valid signatures to place pro-choice constitutional amendment on ballot (protected abortion access through 24 weeks). Sen. Scott now seems less secure to me in his re-election runs. Amendment needs 60% to win, but Scott could easily lose if Dems bring majority.
Florida ready to follow Ohio and secure abortion rights
A measure has reached the threshold to qualify for this year's ballot.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws)

cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble
Breaking: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) bans, by executive order, gender-affirming surgery for minors, effective immediately. The move followed last week's veto of a broader bill. He also announced two proposed rules that will apply to all care, including adults. substack.com/profile/2269...

I really, really hope that one thing people start internalizing from this is that a lot of the “economic freedom” lines are ancient dog whistles steeped in blood.
