"The fight for reproductive freedom is never done. In our current political reality, it may be hard to imagine what victory for reproductive rights looks like on the other side. That's why it's important to stay informed and take lessons from the people we see battling for their rights and freedom every day worldwide. I draw inspiration from movements that have reclaimed their abortion rights, including in Ireland, 'Niñas, No Madres' in Latin America, and right here in the US in states like Ohio, Kansas, and Montana, to name a few.
People who share their stories chip away at stigma and move us toward freedom. They are proof that we all have a role to play in ensuring that people have the power to make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. It's through the conversations we have, experiences we share, and community we build that a vision of reproductive freedom will one day be realized."
