Truthout is an indispensable resource for activists, movement leaders and workers everywhere. Please make this work possible with a quick donation.
It’s not just about abortion anymore, and the Supreme Court isn’t the focal point. Obstacles to women’s reproductive health choices are surfacing in pharmacies, state legislatures, city councils and even medical schools.
On this edition, from Albuquerque to Portland to New York City, focusing locally is a strategy that’s gaining popularity amongst abortion opponents, as local institutions create restrictions that prevent women from exercising their choices, even with the law on their side.
Special thanks to The Media Consortium; their grant from the Quixote Foundation allowed us to participate with ten media outlets in the Reproductive Justice Pilot Project. Thanks also the Association of Alternative News media, Bitch Magazine, and the Santa Fe Reporter.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 48 Hours to raise $20,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (only 48 hours left).
