** The Fight for Reproductive Justice Must Continue
------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade is an attack on women, pregnant people, and our democracy.
Dobbs v. Jackson’s denial of the right to abortion will threaten the safety and economic independence of millions—especially for Black and brown women whose rights have always been more vulnerable.
And it is the result of a broken, antidemocratic court ([link removed]) , with a majority forged by two presidents who lost the popular vote.
As the fight now turns to the states and Congress, we must do everything possible to protect the right to an abortion, to bodily autonomy, and to economic independence.
All of which are—and always will be—intertwined.
