January 2020: The Candidates

Election day is not the end of the road, but the beginning of a new fight. A fight that becomes easier when the people we elect share in our vision and use their position to amplify our voices in the movement for change.

November: The Courts

Every day, the select powers-that-be on the Courts decide whether or not everyday people will have access to care, opportunity, protections, and the liberty to live full, safe, and healthy lives. Every day, they remind us exactly why it matters who sits in the seats of justice.

October: Menstrual Equity

For too many, menstruation leads to a choice between food or menstrual hygiene; missed school or work; bullying; anxiety; “pain more severe than a heart attack;” not getting to visit a loved one experiencing incarceration; a questioning of self; and so much more. This is not ok. It’s time for menstrual equity.

September: Immigrant Rights at the Border

We need to abolish ICE. We need to restore DACA and TPS and refugee programs to their full forms. We need real change that centers the humanity of immigrants above all else. This will take time but the need is now.

June: LGBTQ+ Rights, Equality, Justice & Liberation

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall and of Pride, we dedicated this policy pack to breaking down and exploring current policies, or lack thereof, that enable continued discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in the U.S.— and that go below the surface of what dominates the narrative.

Mini Pack: Black Maternal Health Policy In Georgia

Maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the United States are increasing, and nowhere in the country are they as high as in Georgia. We had the privilege of working with the women of NCNW Spelman Section for their Black Maternal Health Week and on the creation of this pack. We thank them for allowing us to share in the power of their leadership.

January: Reproductive Rights, Health, and Justice

Reproductive Rights, Health, and Justice: While those who choose to police and restrict our autonomy have risen in power, so too has our demand to be heard, our demand to choose what is best for our bodies, and our demand to have the opportunity to live those choices.
