Black Georgia voters showed up and the people in power are scared. We need Congress to act now to protect the right to vote! Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, now!

From passage of the voter suppression bill targeted at Black and brown voters to the arrest of a Black legislator who was advocating for the voting rights of her constituents, today was a reminder of Georgia’s dark past. We must fight for the future of our democracy

We’re talking to local activist Kristin Hady on the pod next week about harassment at Toledo’s only abortion clinic.

Thank you to Kristin and her amazing group of volunteers who help to protect patients and access to this vital resource!

From fire bombings, shootings, and ceaseless harassment, anti-abortion violence has wreaked havoc on clinics for decades.

Happy International Education Day! Today and every day we should listen to Michelle Obama!

Today is International , so I’m taking some time to celebrate the perseverance of students and teachers around the world. Over the past year, the pandemic has presented so many new obstacles to education—some students have faced school closures, others have had to find a way to set up remote learning through radio or cell services. It’s a sad truth that girls are especially vulnerable during times of crisis: Early studies predict that, around the world, 20 million girls of secondary school age may never return to school because of the pandemic. We can’t let that happen. Thankfully, organizations in the Girls Opportunity Alliance community are doing everything they can to keep girls in school. The Harpswell Foundation has provided tech support for girls in Cambodia so they can learn online, while Women's Global Education Project has helped deliver food and essential supplies to girls and their families in Kenya. And, now, we have two new projects in Rwanda and Ghana that we’re supporting through our Girls Opportunity Alliance Fund. This work could not be more important, and I hope you’ll show them your support: gofundme.com/girlsopportunityalliance
