BREAKING: Today, we sought to intervene in #GainesVNCAA — a bogus lawsuit that's trying to get the NCAA to ban transgender athletes from college athletic participation. We are proud to be represented by @ACLU, @ACLUofGA, and @CooleyLLP. Image The people who sued the NCAA are trying to force a blanket ban that will exclude all trans women from women’s college sports governed by the NCAA — regardless of where they’re from, what sport they play, and how much their college and teammates want to welcome them on the team.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case that could gut access to mifepristone, one of a two-part medication process that is the most common form of abortion care. The good news is that for now, mifepristone will remain available without outdated restrictions. This should be an easy case: The Supreme Court should follow the law and shut down the anti-abortion extremists who pulled this case out of thin air.

Let’s break down this Supreme Court decision on birth control, and what it means for all of us and our ability to have our birth control covered by insurance ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#HandsOffMyBC #SCOTUS The Court ruled that the Trump administration’s discriminatory rules – which allow virtually any employer to refuse birth control coverage to employees (and in the case of schools, students) on religious/moral grounds – were allowed under the Affordable Care Act.

THREAD: Earlier today, Betsy DeVos released a set of proposed rules that amount to nothing less than an attack on students who experience sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault. Let’s break it down, and then let’s take it down. #HandsOffIX Sexual trauma is a key driver of school pushout for girls, women, & nonbinary students. DeVos should know that. Yet she’s chosen to focus on shielding perpetrators & schools from the consequences of their actions, making schools more dangerous for all. on.nwlc.org/2LKsBFi

➡️ Damage her career
➡️ Subject her to sexual harassment
➡️ Discriminate against her based on sex
