In 1916, suffragists climbed into a bright gold Saxon motorcar, and set off on an 11,000-mile journey across the United States. A small car with a mighty purpose: to awaken the country to the injustice of denying women the right to vote.
We are recreating that journey- this time for the ERA

#Massachusetts time to change your laws and protect women!
@wbur.org and ProPublica found that as many as 47 states allow more time to charge rapes or similar assaults of adults than Massachusetts, where attempts to lengthen the statute of limitations have failed every session since 2011.

A new study shows that child, early and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU) is adapting to the digital age, becoming more hidden and harder to prevent.
Why Won't the U.S. Stop Child Marriage?
Child marriage is a persistent problem, and the United States is far from immune. Most child brides are young girls wed to adult men.

This administration announces a "review" of the safety of the abortion drug mifepristone—suggesting they may move to reverse regulations that made the pill more available, including by mail. #safeandeffective #reproductiverights
Mifepristone is commonly used along with another drug, misoprostol, for medication abortion in the United States. The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000, and it has long been shown to be safe and effective.

In early 2025, Arizona lawmakers introduced HB 2528, a bill that would raise the minimum marriage age to 18, with no exceptions, thereby eliminating all marriages involving minors. As of March 2025, the bill is still pending in the legislature.
