Doulas provide a spectrum of care for families and communities. This care is especially important for Black mamas whose maternal health outcomes are usually improved when they’re working with a doula! ❤️ #BMHW24 #BlackDoulaDay @blkmamasmatter

Black women in the U.S. are 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. When we demand access to quality health care, child care, education, and public safety -- Black mothers, parents, and families are seen, heard and protected. @blkmamasmatter

Sexual and reproductive health care restrictions and racism are just two factors causing pregnancy-related deaths among Black women. Black mamas everywhere need equitable access to health care and community resources to lower Black maternal mortality. #BMHW24 @blkmamasmatter

🚨Citing the Dobbs decision to uphold this dangerous, anti-LGBTQ+ law is a devastating reminder that the fight for reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights are deeply connected.

To the Ugandan LGBTQ+ community: our hearts are breaking for you, but we will never stop fighting for…

Uganda's Constitutional Court has upheld most of the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act—which criminalizes LGBTQ+ advocacy & increases the penalty for same-sex sexual acts to include the death penalty. We’ll keep fighting until LGBTQ+ Ugandans are safe & fully protected by the law.

LGBTQI+ rights are human rights and we’ll never stop working to safeguard the health, human rights, and equality of each individual, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity. 🏳️‍🌈

🧵 We continue to stand with Uganda’s LGBTQI+ community as the country’s Constitutional Court denied nullifying #AHB23 , the devastating anti-LGBTQI+ law, which violates personal freedoms and fuels the perpetuation of hatred, discrimination, and violence.

We applaud Office of Management and Budget for updating these decades-old standards on race & ethnicity, such as the inclusion of a long-overdue Middle East and North Africa (MENA) category. These changes move us closer to getting concrete data needed to achieve gender & racial justice.

Access to health care is a fundamental right, but confusing enrollment and renewal processes can put coverage out of reach.

We applaud the Biden-Harris administration for making it easier for millions of people to sign up and keep coverage. 👏👏👏

Today, the #SupremeCourt will hear arguments about the future of access to mifepristone.

Limiting mifepristone access is part of a political strategy to control your life and your future — full stop. #BansOff

Fact: since its passage in 2010, the ACA’s birth control benefit has given more than 64 MILLION people coverage for birth control without out-of-pocket costs. 🙌

Birth control is essential health care — period. #ACA14

For 14 years, the Affordable Care Act has provided quality affordable health coverage for Americans. Let’s continue to build on this process and make health coverage more affordable and accessible for everyone! #ACA14

Even in states like Massachusetts with expanded abortion access, there are gaps in reproductive health care for young people.

We need your help – sign our petition to tell the Supreme Court #BansOff , so we can keep mifepristone:
📣 FDA-approved and on the market.
📣 Easy to get in states where abortion is legal.
📣 Available without unnecessary barriers.
