Thank you for this. What’s happening is terrifying. I’m grateful to know I’m not the only one feeling this way, and that actually it’s an entirely reasonable reaction💜

Thank you for this post. I was on a bachelorette trip this past weekend and we saw from where we were eating dinner, a group of older women and men protesting for reproductive rights (this was in Arkansas so I was genuinely surprised to see it). We walked by and talked to them, and the women said “I can’t imagine what it’s like to be your age right now. But we’ve been fighting for years and we’ll keep fighting for you. It’s time to organize.”

It was so powerful to hear from older women that they would be scared to be us too. This is not okay, and now’s the time to grieve and then get moving. 💜

Thank you for this reassurance during these terrifying times.

It is hard to know how to keep functioning at work when this is so much more urgent. I feel that I should be spending all the time/effort that I expend at work fighting for reproductive justice instead. I wish we could all do a general strike without fear of losing job/health benefits or potentially being assaulted by police.

It's so hard to know what to do and how often. In a perfect world we could spend all our time fighting this, but also in a perfect world this wouldn't be happening. Have to figure out a balance instead (which is easier said than done.) Sending so much love xox A
