Women of color have been leading the movement to end abortion coverage bans in our communities and in Congress. The EACH Act would ensure that every person will have insurance coverage for abortion! Join MomsRising.org in speaking out:bit.ly/MomsRisingEACH….

"I’ll never forget the pain of being a youth-led, unpaid movement and well-funded orgs were replicating our content to fundraise, never including us in the process or hiring young moms...we were invisible, it was Twitter & Tumblr content." —natasha reprojobs.org/blog/good-inst…

"Finally, at least, teen moms get to celebrate Mother’s Day in a month that’s not designed to shame them for existing." ~Amy Littlefield, for The Nation #NoTeenShame #SexEdforAll #HappyMothersDay thenation.com/article/societ…

Ten years ago, I met my now-dear friends Gloria Malone & natasha as they were challenging corporations and nonprofits on the shitty way they talked about teen parents. This is a wonderful account of how they and other teen parents did incredible work to build #NoTeenShame.

I hope everyone reads Amy Littlefield’s piece in The Nation because things do not change on their own. People make the change and credit must be given for that progress—especially when allies tried so hard to stop it. #NoTeenShame was a massive shift. thenation.com/article/societ…

A small, scrappy group of teen moms got fed up about being blamed for society’s ills. Ten years later, their fight has transformed the way politicians and advocacy groups approach sex ed and teen parenthood. bit.ly/3Mm0kHX

Essential #SexEdForAll Month reading: "There’s been a quiet sea change in the way public health experts and policy-makers talk about teen pregnancy...The #NoTeenShame campaign is a big part of the reason for that change." More via Amy Littlefield 👇🏿👇🏾👇🏽 thenation.com/article/societ…

“For teen parents, the shame had been coming from all sides, for decades.” No parent should be shamed for existing. We foster a nonjudgmental culture that welcomes, accepts, and respects all people, knowing that teen/student parents are often stigmatized. thenation.com/article/societ…
