Paul Parravano dedicated his life to uplifting the disability community, generously sharing his wisdom & touching countless lives during his 33 years of service.

Today, as we honor his transition, we see & celebrate him—with his loving family, & all who knew & loved him.

On National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls, may we all continue the Work of centering, honoring, remembering, & uplifting the lives stolen by brutal hate & violence.

We must recommit to ending this national crisis once & for all.

This is what we mean when we say abortion justice is:

— Economic justice
— Racial justice
— Health justice

This is why we’re fighting to restore, protect, and expand access to this essential care, for all.

This is unconscionable & inhumane.

As we confront the devastating consequences of Republicans’ cruel & relentless efforts to ban abortion care, we will never stop fighting to protect & expand our reproductive rights & freedoms.

Florida’s near-outright ban on abortions is unacceptable, dangerous, and callous policy violence.

As it takes effect today, a reminder that abortion rights are on the ballot in November, Floridians deserve better, and the people won’t forget.

The nationwide police crackdown on peaceful student protestors is an unacceptable violation of freedom of speech.

Students are calling on us to save lives in Gaza.
