Reflections on my arrest today (a 🧵)

🧵 Today was about Americans right to reproductive choices. I’ve been arrested several times in between & I’m sure I’ll be arrested again when that’s what it takes to stand up for human rights.
🧵 In 1984, I was arrested protesting apartheid in South Africa outside the South African embassy with @ReElectNydia. I have always been proud to stand up for what is right even if that means getting arrested.

This is just the beginning. We will be back.

1/ Once we have climate change under control, we'll have a truly #HappyEarthDay. Until then...
2/ I’m taking #EarthDay as a chance to reflect on my efforts to fight climate change and assess my action going forward. I’m a big believer in women being assertive and speaking out about our accomplishments. We don't do it enough. #ERANow
3/ Here's a list about my efforts on behalf of the planet - and my plans for the future. TY to the people of my district, #NY12, for letting me fight for the #environment on their behalf. #ERANow #CelebrateWomen #HappyEarthDay

Here goes.

In all my years fighting for repro health, this is one of the most idiotic attacks I've seen. Women have the RIGHT to choose & to counsel that helps them make informed choices. @PPFA clinics are community pillars that serve ppl all across this country. 1/ npr.org/sections/healt…
42% of what @PPFA does is STI testing & treatment. Now, I can understand the confusion for @realdonaldtrump when allegedly he doesn’t know the difference between HPV & HIV. We know that facts & figures go over his head. 2/
.@VP may actually understand facts & figures, so here's something to think about: In IN, STI #'s skyrocketed when he withdrew funding from @PPFA. This admin isn't only waging war on women, but anyone who is different - especially those in poverty & it’s absolutely disgusting. 3/
