National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice
On December 1, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a challenge to Roe v. Wade that severely threatens access to abortion throughout the land. Join the movement to defend the right of women and all people to control their own bodies. We say: #TestifyForRoe #MyDecisionAlone
- Protect & expand Roe v. Wade; safe, legal abortion on demand without apology
- Repeal the Hyde Amendment
- Overturn state barriers to reproductive choices
- Stop forced sterilization
- No to caged kids, forced assimilation, & child welfare abuses
- End medical & environmental racism; for universal healthcare
- Defend queer & trans families
- Guarantee medically sound sex education & affordable childcare
- Sexual self-determination for people with disabilities
- Uphold social progress with expanded voting rights & strong unions
