Let’s talk about why we’re #proabortion. 🧵

First things first, no one should have to be pregnant who doesn't want to be. Abortion ends unwanted pregnancies and prevents people from having to experience the very real trauma that the physical and emotional impacts an unwanted pregnancy can cause.

👋🧵Hi we’re @AllAboveAll, and we’re taking over the @WomensMarch account today to talk all things #AbortionJustice! @AllAboveAll We are a coalition of more than 150 local, state, and national partners and a catalyst for #AbortionJustice. That means we are fighting for a world where abortion care is affordable, available, accessible, and supported for everyone who needs it.

Here are three ways you can take action with the Women's March on October 8th:

✅ Host a march or rally in your hometown
✅ Join a march or rally in your hometown
✅ Join us in Washington, D.C. for the national Women's March

If you follow our account, you know that we get a lot of hate from TERFs & "Gender Criticals" for supporting LGBTQ+ folks.

Their harassment doesn't scare us & won't ever stop us from joining in solidarity with trans people — our fights are inseparably linked. #Thread. The same Trump Republicans who are working so hard to ban abortion are doing all they can to make it impossible for trans people to live openly & safely. It all comes down to their disrespect for bodily autonomy.

Tips for a post-Roe world: (A 🧵) "the abortion pill" = mifepristone + misoprostol

Let's talk Andrew Tate, Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, & the pervasive culture of misogyny and sexism that puts women in danger every single day.🧵 Andrew Tate is an American-British TikToker & former pro boxer. He was kicked off "Big Brother" when a video surfaced that appeared to show Tate hitting a woman with a belt. He's also a misogynistic POS.

We got some transphobes BIG mad the other day so let us spell it out for you:

“Women” is a term that encompasses cis & trans women.

When we talk about “people who can give birth,” it's because those people aren't all women! They're girls, trans men, & non-binary ppl. Some of y'all really struggle with the concept of "assigned sex” vs "gender identity" and it shows!!

We’ve rallied at the Supreme Court. We’ve raged at the White House. We've raised our voices in the streets.

Now, we’re taking it to the tweets (and Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & every online platform we can). Quick #thread We're in this fight for the long haul, & we can't rely on the same old tactics to win. We need to communicate effectively with people who are critical or conflicted about abortion rights to build the kind of mass movement we'll need to take back our human rights.

If you're rallying with us for abortion justice, don't forget to bring:

👟 Comfy shoes
💧 Water and a snack
⚡️ Portable Charger
😷 Mask
🧴 Hand Sanitizer
👜 Fanny Pack + ID Please don't bring:

❌ Coat hanger imagery
❌ "Handmaid's Tale" outfits
❌ Weapons

Why the first two? Head to our next tweets ⬇️

Can’t make it to DC for the 2019 Women’s March on Washington? The #WomensWave is flooding streets at at sister marches across the nation.

THREAD with all the sister marches to follow! ARIZONA: The #WomensWave is coming to Payson, AZ, on 01.19.19!

On January 21, 2017, we organized the largest single-day protest in US history. We came together as women, femmes, and allies to speak out, and we set the stage for the resistance movement that continues today.

YOU did this. YOU made this happen.

📸 @TheAlexArbuckle On January 28, 2017—just one week after the first Women’s March—we flooded airports nationwide to protest the Muslim Ban.

Women who marched together went to airports together. People who met at women’s marches came together again to say #NoMuslimBan.

We were planning to shut down the Capitol Building but the authorities were so scared of this #WomensWave that they shut it down for us.

1000+ women, survivors, and allies have gathered in the Hart Senate Building.
Every hallway. Every floor.

#CancelKanavaugh #BelieveSurvivors The entire building is echoing with chants of “BELIEVE SURVIVORS”

We’re coordinating buses to DC from several cities to help you get to DC on Thursday are traveling from.

We believe Christine Blasey Ford. CONTENT WARNING:

This thread will include quotes from #ChristineBlaseyFord describing her assault.

#ChikesiaClemons was assaulted & violated by the Saraland Police on April 28 in an Alabama @WaffleHouse. She was then arrested and charged for her own assault. Today, Saraland Municipal Court Judge Mark Erwin found her guilty on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. We are dismayed, but not surprised, by yet another verdict that shows just how little Black lives and Black dignity matter in the United States. We are outraged at the consistent state-sanctioned abuse of Black women in this country.

Let’s be clear about what this Executive Order does: Instead of imprisoning children in separate internment camps away from their parents, this administration will now imprison children in the same internment camps as their parents. The Executive Order @realDonaldTrump just signed does nothing to end the “zero-tolerance policy” that automatically criminalizes any and all immigrants who cross the border without legal papers, including those seeking asylum.

It does nothing to end the imprisonment of children.

We are sorry we caused hurt and confusion for so many of you this week. #WomensConvention 1/ Women’s March has always promoted taking accountability when addressing the issues that most divide our movement. 2/

#DefendDACA THREAD:

Here's the deal:

@realDonaldTrump is likely to end #DACA on Tuesday, endangering the lives of 800,000 young people. If you marched on January 21st, this is a test of our commitment to intersectionality.

We need you to do these 5 things NOW to #DefendDACA
