Some trans men & non-binary folks menstruate, give birth, have abortions, use birth control, face infertility, etc. Their experiences & needs matter. Public health’s continued use of inaccurate, gendered language in SRH is violent erasure that MUST change.

Shoutout to the Burgerville Worker's Union for their Emerging Leadership win in this year's James Beard awards—I've never seen a union win a major food award in this way, but points to the growing power of labor in food right now
"There’s an old saying in the IWW that “Wob is a verb.” Being a Wobbly is not something that you are but also something that you do, organizing our workplaces and ultimately the working class... " - Noah Wingard
Checked our union’s website and saw that that featured us 😍🥰
Visit http://iww.org and get a union at your job, too!
P.S. IWW Website is so gorgeous.

Just a reminder that the Native communities legal right to keep their children from being stolen away is barely 45 years old and the Supreme Court is trying to overturn it in 75 days.
Without further ado, Women’s Health Center of Maryland will open in June 2023 just minutes from the West Virginia border!
The Cumberland clinic will offer a full-range of reproductive health services including medical and procedural abortion up to 16 weeks, as well as GAHT

If your boss has ever told you that you cannot organize a union, or that you can be fired for any reason, because WV is a “right to work” state…
1) They’re lying to you.

Creativity, ingenuity, and storytelling is the heart of Appalachia.
This #FThon23 we're raising money for abortion access in Appalachia + calling on all Appalachian creatives, musicians, makers, bakers, quilters -- everyone.

I’m going to keep saying this until folks stop trying to create a binary where one simply does not exist:
ALL abortions are medically-necessary abortions. Care that someone needs to be holistically well is medically-necessary.
VAG needs another $88K to make it happen. Several new abortion clinics are now seeing patients bc Twitter blew up their crowdfunding campaigns! We can do that for the country's only woman of color-led & employee-owned, all-tri clinic too!
Give if you can & share if you can't!!!
To every abortion clinic receptionist, medical assistant, clinician, administrator, doula, escort, custodian, counselor, and abortion funder holding it down right now: Thank you for empowering self determination 🧡#CelebrateAbortionProviders#AbortionProviderAppreciationDay
💜Abortion providers have held Appalachians with love and compassion. ✨💛
Abortion providers are experts on abortion care, have had abortions and believe abortion should be on our own terms.

BREAKING:
Today we share our plan with the world: we will blockade the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Biden pledged to end new fossil fuel leases on federal lands. Now he’s approving them faster than Trump.
We will rise up to fight this. Join us. Tell everyone you know. 🧵
This is what hurts the most. We deserve the best. Patients deserve the best. The most effective options, ease of access.
It’s hard to be forced to lower the quality of the health care you provide.
We know that some abortions can be done with miso alone. That's not the point. It would be naive to believe that opposition will stop at just mife when it comes to the entire spectrum of repro health. We deserve all the options because abortion is normal!
Hi, I know I'm not an authority on reproductive justice, but I'm BEGGING white folks to stop saying reproductive justice when they mean abortion access. Pass along to your friends
Mifepristone is a very common method of medication abortion care alongside Misoprostol. It's very safe and a preferred method for a lot of people. Everyone deserves the method of abortion care they prefer, within their own communities, without restrictions.
Day after day we will show up because our love for community is much stronger than any hate or fear the state creates. This will be a difficult and long road but I firmly believe we will win and create a much better world for all of us. #abortioncare

As we await to hear the fate of mifepristone in the US, we want to remind everyone that it is still possible to safely self-manage abortions using misoprostol only, here's how:
Until people in power fear us, no amount of tweeting, handwringing, public hearings, or appealing to their "better angels" is going to keep these monsters from doing what monsters do. 🧵

People (rightly) lose their shit about the hiring of a anti-choice monster lobbyist/ex-delegate and then go rub elbows with the same kind of monsters at a dance.
These people are legit as long as we legitimize them.

🌿 Evergreen reminder: Your reasons for wanting to have an abortion are valid. “You deserve the abortion you want, not the abortion society thinks you deserve.” -Kelsea McLain, Deputy Director of Yellowhammer Fund ✨
the amount of love i have for people who have abortions, people who provide abortions, and people who wake up and work for a future where everyone can get the abortions they need...
IS UNMATCHED! IS OVERFLOWING! IS ENDLESS!
don't let the scary antis get you down.

I went to a gynecologist office run by Black women and gosh what a difference.
-cloth robes in extended sizing
-saw my history of CSA and made sure to stop the appointment and tell me it wasn’t my fault and she was proud I was in therapy for it.
