It is perplexing that, in 'OUR' 21st century, women are deprived of fundamental rights that should be universally afforded to all individuals. This ongoing injustice highlights the urgent need for societal transformation to ensure equality and empowerment for every woman.

Trump cut $325M from PBS. “Sesame Street,” rural stations, even emergency alert tech - all defunded because he didn’t like the coverage.
PBS and NPR are suing. But this isn’t just media. It’s state retaliation against speech.
We’re past censorship. This is purge politics.

Here in Arkansas, a law has been signed by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders that mandates the placement of the Ten Commandments in every state and local government building. This includes every public school classroom.
This law directly conflicts with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
