“Did you know that we receive an F rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, designating us as state with restricted access to abortion?” I asked, struggling to raise my voice above the steady hum of other students chatting with eager first-year students at my college’s annual activities fair. Packed into my school’s gymnasium along with roughly […]

Baby’s First Congressional Hearing
Last Wednesday, June 19th, I went to my first House committee hearing.

I was excited and filled with […]
Why It’s Not Enough To Be Just Pro-Choice
Growing up in San Francisco and attending an all girls Catholic high school, I lived in a juxtaposed state between both faithful people and liberal-minded people.

John Institute (MPJI). The march united hundreds of Black women and allies to demand justice and continue fighting […]
#SaveSCOTUS: What’s At Stake for Trans Rights
Bloomberg Law recently reported that 16 states want the Supreme Court to limit workplace rights for transgender workers.
