ALERT: Missouri may become the first state without any abortion clinics since Roe v. Wade.

The MO health dept is refusing to renew the license of the only remaining abortion clinic– forcing them to close THIS FRIDAY unless a court steps in.
MO has been trying to gut Roe v. Wade for years and wants to lead the nation in harming women, pregnant people, and other marginalized populations.

Here’s some quick examples of how:
In Missouri...

➡️Black women in MO already die at shocking rates during and after pregnancy

➡️LGBTQ people can be fired from their jobs or denied housing

➡️Young people must get the consent of two parents or a judge to end their own pregnancy
MO politicians have a lengthy track record of both abortion-shaming and victim-blaming.
Rep Akin once said ‘legitimate rape’ doesn’t result in pregnancy, and Rep. Hovis invented the myth of ‘consensual rapes.’

Sounds like just the guys we should trust with our rights.
Closing abortion clinics harms survivors.

We hear time and time again from survivors that this and other abortion clinics saved their lives after they experienced violence. And many DV survivors say they were able to leave an abusive partner because of abortion care.
Abortion bans are a form of violence too. The system of oppression that tells rapists and abusers our bodies are theirs to exploit is the very same system that emboldens legislators to take away abortion access.
MO already passed an abortion ban, but it’s not in effect yet, and the ACLU of MO and allies are working tirelessly to block it.

But if this last clinic closes down in three days, it will be the end of legal abortion in MO.
Now more than ever, patients need funds to help them get to their clinics and pay for abortions.

Donate if you can to @GWAFund, the only abortion fund for Missourians, or to @PPMO_Advocates and @aclu_mo as they fight to #StopTheBans

📢BREAKING: The Biden admin just released the proposed changes to the 2020 anti-survivor Title IX rule. This is a huge win, & it happened thanks to student organizing!!

Let’s break down the history of the rule, the process of changing it, & what the changes mean for students.🧵
Reminder, the 2020 #TitleIX reg was written with the help of MRAs who wanted to make it easier to get away with sexual violence–such as the National Coalition For Men, who claim laws intended to support survivors are based in “hysteria."

Learn more⬇️
Changes to Title IX–the civil rights law *meant to* protect survivors’ access to education–are massively needed!

Our survey found that currently, nearly 40% of survivors who report to their school are pushed out of education. knowyourix.org/wp-content/upl…

Title IX is turning 50 tomorrow, and the Biden administration still has not rolled back DeVos’ attacks on student survivors’ rights.

Join us to demand #EDActNow and tell the @usedgov why survivors need a new Title IX rule NOW.
@usedgov Survivors’ lives, futures, and educations depend on the Biden administration acting NOW to undo DeVos’ anti-survivor Title IX rule. Currently, about a third of survivors are pushed out of school.
Biden promised a “quick end'' to DeVos’ Title IX rule, but students may not see a new Title IX rule finalized until 2023 – 3 years after the DeVos rule went into effect. That’s millions of students who have been subjected to DeVos’ Title IX rule because of his admin’s failures.

Defamation cases are being used to silence survivors from school age and beyond. 23% of student survivors are threatened with a defamation suit by their abuser.

The decision in the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp case will silence survivors, and that was always the goal. ImageImage
Perpetrators of violence have long manipulated systems, often ones meant to protect survivors, to continue their abuse.

What we saw today wasn’t the first time a court has been an avenue for abuse, and it won’t be the last. ImageImage
The smear campaign against Amber Heard isn’t a silencing and discrediting tactic only celebrities face.

Student survivors who report and speak have shared that their abusers and others have attempted to keep them quiet through public attacks. Image

Today, on the 49th anniversary of Title IX, ED announced they will begin the process of issuing a proposed Title IX rule. This would alter DeVos’ Title IX rule that continues to harm survivors.

It’s an exciting step, but we have a long road ahead of us:🧵
ED announced they won’t be releasing the proposed rule until May 2022––and then it will go through the same notice and comment period that DeVos’ rule went through.

This means on ED's current timeline we might not have a new rule for years. But survivors can't wait that long.
We know that the most effective way to make change for survivors is through organizing. So here are 2 ways to plug in to organizing.

1) We aren't backing down and are going to continue to demand #EDActNow, not in May. Sign up to join us: actionnetwork.org/forms/student-…

🧵Flimsy procedural protections harm all students––so we reject the idea that protections for survivors are in tension with fair processes.

That's why KYIX organizer @nesbittsarahe joined the Title IX hearings to share our recs for a fair process. knowyourix.org/issues/fair-pr…
Here are 5 main ways that the parties on differing sides of a Title IX investigation actually have many interests that align. The Department should act decisively to protect all students in those arenas.
1⃣ED should ensure clear and prompt notice of school policies and procedures related to sexual misconduct. This means having clear policies about what constitutes sexual misconduct, a carefully delineated reporting and investigation process, and prompt and unambiguous notice.

🧵Thread: It's day 2 of the Title IX listening sessions. Follow along for quotes from survivors and those who support them on the current Title IX regulation, and what they would like to see in the new rule.

Tune into the livestream here: web.cvent.com/event/06428d78…
"I didn't feel like a student, I felt like a liability... in my Title IX process, I learned that schools will do anything to protect themselves, not survivors."

DeVos' rule prioritizes schools' bottom lines over survivors' access to education, that's why it has to go #EDActNow
Title IX Coordinators are joining the listening sessions to share that requiring schools to alter their campus policies within 3 months made it impossible for schools to work with stakeholders, especially students, to try and implement best practices under the regulations.
