And for those who want to focus on specific issues, we publish specialized newsletters like Protect Our Planet and Resist Project 2025. Some are weekly, others monthly—but each one zeroes in on the issues that matter most to you.
Our mission is simple: to keep you informed, connected, and empowered to advocate for progress, liberty, justice for all—and true power to the people. Because when we transform overwhelm into action, people power wins.
✨ Today’s featured newsletter is Reproductive Freedom for All—focused on the fight for reproductive rights and freedoms for everyone. Because protecting bodily autonomy isn’t just one issue—it’s the foundation of equality, dignity, and justice.
❤️ Reproductive Freedom for All
MAGA Republicans are relentlessly attacking reproductive freedom, undermining the rights and autonomy of millions of Americans. Their harmful agenda puts personal medical decisions in the hands of politicians, stripping away essential healthcare and endangering lives. We must stand united to protect reproductive justice and preserve the rights of all people to control their own bodies.

🤥 RFK Jr. Questions Safety of Mifepristone During Senate Hearing

📖 Amy Coney Barrett’s Abortion Memoir Attempts to Rewrite History
In her new book, Barrett reframes the abortion debate—and history—through a conservative lens. Her self-serving narrative glosses over lived realities and harms, while we stand firm in defending reproductive truths. [The Guardian]
⚖ Texas Prepares to Allow Suits Against Abortion Pill Providers Up to $100K

Taking Action for Reproductive Freedom: Why It Matters and What You Can Do
Americans are increasingly anxious and fearful as sweeping abortion bans take hold across many states, threatening the health and rights of millions. Abortion is not only essential healthcare—it has broad public support. Yet 28 million women of reproductive age now face growing barriers to care, putting lives and autonomy at risk. These bans are more than policies; they cause real harm, with stories of suffering already unfolding across the country. Despite the challenges, health centers remain committed to providing critical sexual and reproductive care—from birth control to cancer screenings to, where allowed, abortion services. It's time to listen, take action, and keep politicians out of personal health decisions.
Reproductive freedom is more than a political issue—it’s a fundamental human right that impacts health, equality, and the ability to make decisions about one’s own body. Yet, across the globe and even in many parts of the United States, reproductive rights are under attack. From restrictive laws to misinformation campaigns, the fight for reproductive freedom demands our collective attention and action. Now is the time to rise in defense of these rights, ensuring that everyone has access to safe, legal, and affordable reproductive healthcare. The question is not whether we can make a difference, but how.
