It's been a long and hard week with the leaked SCOTUS draft, which if final, would push abortion care further out of reach. That said, we are continuing to fight for #AbortionJustice for our communities. Here's a 🧵 of some BOLD actions from this past week. 1/12
The Massachusetts House added $500,000 for abortion access & infrastructure in their budget last week! The funds would go to MA's three abortion funds and help people get the abortions they need #mapoli 2/12
Massachusetts Senate President was like, I see that, and I raise you $1.5M. Next week the Senate plans to unveil their budget which includes $2 MILLION for abortion access. LFG! #mapoli 3/12
Not to be outdone but over in New York, @votejgr introduced legislation to create the Reproductive Freedom & Equity Program which would include $50 MILLION for abortion providers & funds to ensure folks get abortion care they need. 4/12
Speaking of NY, AG @TishJames shared her abortion story for the 1st time on Tues 👏

“I was just elected and I was faced with the decision whether to have an abortion or not. And I chose to have an abortion...I make no apologies to anyone. To no one.” 5/12

Across the country, figures like @phoebe_bridgers & Reps @CoriBush @RepBarbaraLee @JackieSpeier @RepJayapal @SenGaryPeters shared their abortion stories.

Jayapal said knowing that Speier previously shared her story helped her decide to share her own. 6/12
Public figures like @oliviarodrigo spoke in support of abortion!

@OfficialJLD @johnlegend @chrissyteigen are donating & matching donations to @AbortionFunds and @KeepOurClinics.

People across the country continue to fundraise during #FThon22 7/12
People are throwing their hat in the ring and signing up to run for office! @runforsomething saw a 150% increase in sign ups.

We have bold candidates like @JCisnerosTX challenging anti-abortion incumbents. We must continue to #AskAboutAbortion! 8/12
17 dem governors are calling on Congress to act. California, Ohio, Washington are considering constitutional amendments to affirm the right to abortion like @mireprofreedom & VT. Change takes time but states &cities continue to fight for #AbortionJustice for our communities. 9/12
This is an all hands on deck moment. We need everyone from policymakers to activists to fight for #AbortionJustice. Donate to @AbortionFunds & @KeepOurClinics; talk to your loved ones about abortion; demand BOLD action; join local+state efforts! 10/12 donations4abortion.com
Repro, feel free to add what else you're seeing and/or working on (I also know lots of stuff is in the works 😉😤). Please also rest and take care of yourselves because we love you and need you in this fight. 11/12
These are just some of the things I've seen this past week that are shifting culture, expanding access, and galvanizing support. As we say at @AllAboveAll, we seek justice and we'll keep fighting until history proves us right because it will 💚 12/12 vm.tiktok.com/TTPdb7oYbC/
