ACCESS supporter,
While votes are still being counted and tallied across the country, we have confirmation today that the presidential election has come to an end. We cannot begin without acknowledging the immense work put in by Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) organizers, poll workers, ballot counters and many, many others who worked to bring us to today. Amongst a global pandemic, an uprising for Black lives, the increased home care responsibilities for many, and the many traumas of the last 4 years, we continuously have shown up and shown out for what we know is most important: Reproductive Justice.
Support ACCESS in making Reproductive Justice a Reality.
Many votes were cast to hold up and progress white supremacy, homophobia, anti-Blackness, misogyny, anti-choice initiatives and every system meant to lift up those already in power. We, as a grassroots Reproductive Justice organization, supporting folks with the aid they need, know that the power is often in the wrong hands. We will continue our fight.
Today, we can breathe a sigh of relief, that we may be on a path towards justice even as we acknowledge that our work is far from over. Barriers to abortion access, quality healthcare, safe communities, a clean environment, economic security, and so much more existed long before, and they undoubtedly will continue. There’s a long road ahead for Reproductive Justice. For the right to determine if, when, and how we start and support our families. We need you with us.
ACCESS will continue working for a future rooted in our collective liberation–join us.
The incoming administration will open up possibilities for us to push for much needed change from immigrant justice, economic justice, and LGBTQ+ Liberation, to defunding the police and reinvesting in social supports, environmental justice, and access to abortion. We are ready to hold them accountable and push them towards liberation for us all. We hope you’ll be there with us.
In Solidarity,
Jessica Pinckney
