You gave generations of women language for their own lives — the idea that we could define ourselves outside marriage, motherhood, or anyone’s permission. A driving force of the women’s rights movement for 50+ years. We stand on the ground you helped build. 🕊️. Rest in power, Gloria. 💜

ACTION ALERT🚨 New York’s rape laws still fail survivors who were voluntarily intoxicated, making prosecution extremely difficult. A-101 (Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion Act) would close this loophole and secure equal legal protection for survivors. #ProtectSurvivors
