PSA: Bodily autonomy is a human right. People with disabilities deserve the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and futures.

In the four years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, we've endured countless deliberate and pointed attacks on abortion access from lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse. ⤵️

Black History Month is a time to honor the history, center the joy, and celebrate the futures of Black communities. But as February comes to a close, here’s a reminder that Black history is not contained to just one month a year. 🖤

Lauren Blauvelt, Executive Director of PPAO, on Senate Bill 1: “Make them tell you what’s wrong with those centers. Keep as much as you can keep. I expected leadership from UC. What is the point of a university that is only teaching what is approved by a very biased state government?”

UC and other schools kept quiet as Ohio lawmakers passed a law banning the schools' DEI programs. The costs of doing otherwise would've been high.

The fight isn’t over. Right now, Congress is considering a bill that would block people with Medicaid coverage from Planned Parenthood health centers nationwide, regardless of where they live, and would leave over eight million people uninsured.
