We hurt and we fight. We fight and we hurt.

There’s no single way for any of us to adequately process the weight of these events. Dear John, In early May, we learned that the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, jeopardizing the health, autonomy, and personal privacy of half the population…

What happened in Buffalo was not an isolated incident
