Allies in Action is just around the corner—and this year, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new way to empower the next generation of leaders in the fight for reproductive freedom.
The NextGEN Sponsorship is designed for students and recent grads who are passionate about reproductive justice and ready to make their mark. This accessible opportunity allows rising leaders to support the pro-choice movement, gain visibility, and begin building meaningful connections within our powerful community.
For community members, sponsoring Allies in Action means more than showing your support—it helps open the door for students and recent grads to join us in community, creating a seat at the table for all generations. By becoming a sponsor, you’ll not only stand strong for reproductive freedom, but also meet and celebrate the NextGEN of pro-choice trailblazers at Allies in Action.

Meta is Censoring Abortion Pill Information
[[link removed]]
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) just dropped a vital report on social media censorship of abortion information: the group found that despite insisting their policies haven’t changed, platforms like Meta are increasingly taking down abortion-related content—especially posts about abortion pills.
What’s more, when EFF investigated nearly 100 examples of blocked content, they found that almost none actually violated platform policies.
The most common kind of censorship happened when a user shared basic information about abortion medication. One health policy strategist had her Threads post removed, for example, after explaining the shelf life of abortion pills and sharing that they’re available by mail. Meta claimed it was because “[they] don’t allow people to buy, sell, or exchange drugs that require a prescription from a doctor or a pharmacist.”
A Minnesota abortion clinic had its entire Facebook account suspended for the same reason. Tammi Kromenaker from the Red River Women’s Clinic told the Associated Press, “We were not trying to sell drugs; we were just informing our followers about a service, a legal service that we offer.”
Again, Meta claims that their policies haven’t changed—but here at AED, we started to notice a crackdown almost immediately after Trump’s inauguration. Remember our reporting from back in January? We found that Instagram was blocking and blurring content from Aid Access, one of the most important abortion pill providers in the country.
It’s not just Meta, though: EFF found censorship across platforms—from TikTok to LinkedIn.
Right now, access and information is everything. And while conservatives try to ban abortion pills, they know the next best thing is to make it impossible for people to find out how to get them.

The Future Of Telehealth Abortions
[[link removed]]
The nation’s patchwork system of abortion laws is once again being challenged.
This time, opponents are targeting telehealth abortions. That’s when a provider in a state where abortion is legal meets virtually with a patient and sends them pills to take at home.
Those patients come from states all over the country – even those with abortion bans. A quarter of all abortions in the U.S. are done via telehealth. That’s according to a June report from the Society of Family Planning.
Now, attorneys general in Texas and Louisiana are suing a doctor in New York for prescribing pills to patients in their states, where abortion is almost completely banned. New York is one of several states that’s enacted shield laws after Roe was overturned. These statutes ban cooperation with other states’ attempts to enforce abortion bans.
So, what’s at stake in this case? And how did states’ rights become the latest flashpoint in the battle over abortion access?
