Change Is Happening–Just Look at Virginia.

Published: April 17, 2020

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam certainly had a busy weekend last week. Virginia undeniably has a history of oppressive legislation, particularly in regards to race relations, gun control, and reproductive rights and access.

The Stimulus Bill Isn’t Enough.
It’s Time to Demand More.

Published: April 10, 2020

Just two weeks ago, the Trump administration signed into law the largest stimulus bill in U.S. history. The package, dubbed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act, is set to inject a desperately needed $2 trillion into the economy to curb the effects of the pandemic. Media outlets have praised the CARES […]

Sexual and reproductive health care has long been a contentious topic throughout the United States. Placing much of the world on pause, the recent global COVID-19 outbreak has unfortunately allowed for assaults on reproductive rights and health to accelerate.
