Having been part of the Planned Parenthood family for nearly a decade, and having spent my career working in movements for social justice, I can’t think of a greater honor or more weighty responsibility than leading an organization like Planned Parenthood in this moment.

For years, anti-reproductive health legislators in Virginia have attempted to “defund” Planned Parenthood and block access to safe, legal abortion. That ends TODAY! Huge congratulations to the new pro-reproductive health majority in the legislature! #PinkOutVA

Last night, @AOC opened up about the fear she faced on Jan. 6 and the way it compounded past trauma. She shouldn't have had to. But millions of people, particularly Black and Brown women, saw themselves in her story. I'm thinking of them today.

At @PPact , we believe survivors—and saying we believe survivors doesn't mean only when it's politically convenient. Our country is hungry for leadership on this issue & now is the time to give it to them. @JoeBiden must address this allegation directly.

It's important to understand that @PPFA is a repro rights organization. Black women created a RJ framework and lead that work today. We will continue to follow their lead, and work to fully embrace the framework to drive intersectional equity through health care and advocacy.

@Philanthropy We appreciate the acknowledgment, but we are not an RJ org. Giving us that label erases the legacy and contribution of RJ organizations and leaders. Our hope is to follow and partner as allies with these orgs as we work to embody the principles of the framework fully.

Reckoning with Sanger is one thing. We need to reckon with ourselves. Yesterday, our federation voted to affirm that health equity requires race equity. To fulfill our mission, we must fight the systemic racism that creates barriers to care.

It’s been only ONE WEEK since the draft opinion was leaked detailing how SCOTUS plans to overturn Roe v. Wade. Since then, I have seen the support for abortion rights and know there is strength in numbers to tell legislators that we are not backing down. Keep it up, I'm with you.

This is politics at its worst. Planned Parenthood will continue doing what South Carolina's elected officials refuse to do — ensure every person has access to basic health care, including abortion, if and when they need it. No matter what.

Today’s decision challenging the FDA's decades-long approval of mifepristone exposes how far anti-abortion activists will go to further restrict abortion nationwide. We should be enraged that approval of a safe and effective abortion method could be overruled by ONE judge.

There are a million reasons I’m heartbroken and enraged by the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Because he was Black, because he was just out for a run, because his murderers walked free for over two months. Because the case is now on its 3rd prosecutor.

Texas was home to Sarah Weddington who argued Roe, which no longer exists here. A Texan, LBJ, enshrined voting rights but we're now the hardest state in the country to vote. Our history provides hope for our future. We must keep fighting for a better Texas.
