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

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/
