Sex education is more than just putting condoms on bananas. Sex education is a foundation for our development as people. We know — it sounds totally awkward to talk about this with your fam. Don’t worry! We’ve got you ⤵️
Spark a convo by getting everyone involved ✨
Build a foundation to understand what everyone’s own experiences were and where they would like to see change.
Always helps to go over the basics: definitions, benefits, and what actually is problematic.
Hit ‘em with the overwhelming statistics in favor of sex education.
Like many policy discussions, we have to look at the state level disparities.
Go over the reality of abstinence-only programs.
The last 4 years haven’t been pretty for a lot of reasons, and the Trump admin really did damage by censoring sex education.
Time for the good news: we’re entering a new era. Let’s hold the Biden-Harris admin accountable and advocate for the programs we need.
With all fam gatherings, things can get awkward and you took it one step farther by bringing up SEX EDUCATION👏👏👏 Amazing, but make sure to thank them for taking this journey with you.

What's scarier than ghouls, goblins, & 👻? 👀 Unqualified and extremely conservative nominees being confirmed to LIFETIME positions as federal judges. 😱

Their judgeships could have disastrous results for GENERATIONS. 😧 Meet just a handful of them. ⤵️

#Halloween #CourtsMatter
Extreme and biased: Sarah Pitlyk has gone on the record against alternative reproductive options, such as surrogacy and in vitro fertilization. She can’t be trusted to protect our health and rights. #StopPitlyk #CourtsMatter
We need judges who will protect our constitutional rights — not Steven Menashi who has spent his career working against them. Senators must stop his confirmation. #StopMenashi #CourtsMatter

For the first time in nearly 50 years, Planned Parenthood is being forced out of the Title X program, meaning people across the country who are already struggling to make ends meet might not be able to access the care they need.

Absolutely devastating.

#IStandWithPP #ProtectX
It’s not just Planned Parenthood. Seven states and the only Title X grantee in Maine have also made clear they CANNOT stay in the program under the gag rule — together with Planned Parenthood, they serve nearly HALF the patients in the program. #ProtectX
Trump’s gag rule is destroying the nation’s decades-old program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care. While the Trump administration may have given up on you, we NEVER will — we’re doing everything we can to make sure patients don’t lose care. #IStandWithPP

“Women for Trump” launched today, and the hypocrisy is stunning.

Since taking office, the Trump admin has systematically taken away our health and rights — policies that hurt all women, including his own supporters.

We have the receipts. Thread ⤵️

The administration has implemented the Title X “gag” rule, making it impossible for millions of patients to get birth control or preventive care from Planned Parenthood through the Title X program. #ProtectX

They’ve repeatedly tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would roll back the significant gains people of color have made in being able to access health care.

BREAKING: The Trump administration strips Title X funding from Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin, Hawaii, North Carolina, Virginia, and southwest Ohio, putting health care at risk for 40,000+ patients — in a coordinated attack to block patients from coming to Planned Parenthood.
This comes on the heels of the administration’s finalized Title X gag rule, which bans providers in the Title X program from referring their patients for abortion. If the rule goes into effect on May 3, access to care will be at risk for 4 million people. #ProtectX
In many counties, Planned Parenthood health centers are the *only* places that provide people struggling to make ends meet the reproductive care they need.

tl;dr: Planned Parenthood health centers are irreplaceable. ppact.io/2HZHXrh

BREAKING: Despite massive opposition, the Trump-Pence administration just released its unethical gag rule, making it illegal for Title X health care providers to refer patients for abortion. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
The gag rule will effectively dismantle the Title X program — a program meant to ensure that people with low incomes can access birth control & other essential reproductive health care. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
This rule also imposes costly and unnecessary “physical separation” requirements on health centers that provide abortion, which could force health centers to construct whole new health center or hire an entire second staff. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare

If there is one thing you take away from yesterday’s hearing, it’s this: Brett Kavanaugh is no Supreme Court Justice. #StopKavanaugh
While the fact that Trump only nominated Kavanaugh because he would gut Roe v. Wade was enough to disqualify Kavanaugh, yesterday further proved he is unfit to be a Supreme Court justice.
While the fact that Kavanaugh has already blocked access to abortion & birth control and would threaten access to affordable care was enough to disqualify Kavanaugh, yesterday further proved he is unfit to be a Supreme Court justice.
