Today is a dark day here in North Carolina as a 12-week abortion ban officially goes into effect. But the best way to fight injustice is with action. Please join me in supporting the Carolina Abortion Fund today. https://www.carolinaabortionfund.org/donate
The Block Gallery, located inside the Raleigh Municipal Building, is exhibiting The Voices of Oberlin, a collection of stories from the elders of Oberlin Village, one of the largest and longest surviving Black freedman’s villages in North Carolina. The exhibit runs now until September. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/counties/wake-county/article276647956.html
SCOTUS just affirmed what North Carolinians already knew: State Legislatures do not have free rein to trample the voices of voters for their own political gain. This is a major victory for free and fair elections. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/politics/supreme-court-election-clause-case/index.html
On the anniversaries of Obergefell v. Hodges and Lawrence v. Texas, momentous Supreme Court decisions for equality, let us celebrate the victories we’ve won and the progress we’ve made, but acknowledge that we must do more to protect the LGBTQ+ community in North Carolina and across the country.
One year ago today, the Supreme Court overturned nearly 50 years of precedent and endangered the lives of women everywhere. The Dobbs decision proved to all of us that our rights are not safe – but we cannot and will not stop fighting. I am confident in what I’ve always known and fought for: Women should be able to make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care. I am more determined than ever to protect reproductive freedom and ensure women in every state can access the health care they need.
Now more than ever, we must remain committed to protecting abortion access in NC and across the country. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/article276608736.html
The Imps were recently voted the best high school mascot in the country. My husband is a Cary High grad. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article276572216.html
