From the National Women's Law Center:
"...Every victory we win, every harm that we prevent, takes us one step closer to a more just, equitable future for all.”—Fatima Goss Graves, NWLC President and CEO

In the first month of the Trump-Vance administration, NWLC has been vocal in calling on those in power to be accountable to their constituents and the rule of law, and fight back against threats to women, LGBTQ+ people, and working families. We've spoken out against the nominations of people who will hinder gender justice efforts, and along with Public Citizen, we sent an open letter to Congress
https://nwlc.org/press-release/nwlc-public-citizen-more-than-110-organizations-call-for-investigation-of-elon-musks-lawless-government-takeover/
calling on them to use their oversight powers to challenge DOGE’s lawless takeover of the federal government and attacks on federal workers and agencies that provide vital services to the public."

Meanwhile, we continue to advocate at the federal and state levels for the issues that affect women and girls every day, from abortion access to the wage gap to paid parental leave and affordable child care. This coming Monday, March 3, you’re invited to join an NWLC briefing with Fatima Goss Graves and experts from our Income Security and Child Care team to hear about how NWLC is pushing back on harmful policy proposals, and what we’re doing now and in the long term to fight for women and working families.

Event Details:
Date: Monday, March 3, 2025
Time: 3:00 PM ET
Platform: Zoom. Register here.

Please note this event will not be recorded, but feel free to reach out to us at give@nwlc.org if you’re interested in learning more or would like to connect with our development team.

Repro Shabbat
National Council of Jewish Women
Thank you for participating!

Thank you for being part of Repro Shabbat 2025! Nearly 2,500 Repro Shabbat observances happened this past weekend — some as community-wide events and others around Shabbat dinner tables, all sending a resounding message: Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value!

The fight to reclaim reproductive freedom in this country is a marathon, not a sprint. With your continued support, we aim to help more people move from education to action.

Here are some ways you can take action now:

Pledge to recommit to reproductive freedom. Hostile lawmakers continue to intensify their attacks on our health care while attempting new strategies to strip away our bodily autonomy and dismantle our personal freedoms. Now, more than ever, we must raise our Jewish voices in support of abortion because of religion, not in spite of it. Join NCJW to pledge your support for reproductive freedom.

Get a jumpstart on Abortion Care Provider Appreciation Day coming up on March 10. Show your local abortion providers some love for their dedication, compassion, resilience, and courage using our print-at-home postcards. You can also buy pre-printed postcards from the NCJW shop.

Donate to the Jewish Fund for Abortion Access. The Jewish Fund continues to make a collective impact and is the best way to give Jewishly for abortion access.

Looking forward to making noise with you!
Shira Zemel
Abortion Access Campaign Director

From Planned Parenthood:
Love is great — we LOVE love. But you know what we also love? Righteous anger. Resistance.

There are politicians in power who want to further dismantle reproductive rights and care. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and other anti-abortion rights lawmakers are hell-bent on banning abortion nationwide, gender-affirming care, and other health care people need and deserve.

Donate: https://www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org/J5pTd7NTPkG_vZ_u_DFeyg2 [www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org]

Let it be known that they're the reason you support Planned Parenthood Action Fund and fight for reproductive rights!

With love (and rage),

Sarah Posner, author and journalist, as moderator
Plus U.S. Representatives Jamie Raskin, Bennie Thompson, and Pramila Jayapal, American national security official Olivia Troye, attorney Mark Zaid, and many more!

Rachel and Alessandro will speak about AU's work to advocate for church-state separation as the foundational principle that protects freedom and equality for all and as the antidote to current Christian Nationalist threats to religious freedom and democracy. They will discuss the importance of uniting for a national re-commitment to church-state separation.

What Christians gain by reckoning with racism: A conversation with Dr. Jemar Tisby, by Rebekah Kohlhepp

What christians gain by reckoning with racism.
Black lives matter.
A Conversation with Dr. Jemar Tisby, pictured.

"Tisby’s 2020 experience at my alma mater came to mind when, while I was recently interviewing him, he identified himself as an “evangelical reject.” He had come to the Christian faith in white evangelical spaces. He was a true believer, not just in the religion itself, but in racial reconciliation within the church. Yet the more time he dedicated to preaching, speaking and writing about it, the more he realized that when many white evangelicals spoke of racial reconciliation, they did not mean what he thought they meant.

He discovered that what many white evangelicals called racial reconciliation was instead the most basic form of diversity: what he now calls “hues in the pews.” The white church gets the optics it wants without having to do the real work of reckoning with the church’s or the nation’s racist past or present. When someone holds their feet to the fire and demands accountability — perhaps even explicitly calling white moderates the stumbling blocks to justice — they refuse."

From AU:
We are mobilizing like never before. Here’s what you can expect from us in the coming weeks:

Suing Christian Nationalists:
Expect to see AU in court. We’re expecting hundreds of new rules & executive orders and our lawyers will be reviewing them all.

Week of Action Against the Nationwide Vouchers:
This is a direct assault on public education and religious freedom. Our teams are preparing to mobilize opposition and fight this dangerous proposal.

Pushing Back in the States:
As state legislatures kick off their sessions, we’re watching closely. State-level attacks on the separation of church and state are often where the worst damage begins and then is replicated across the country.

This is a fight like we've never seen before in our country and we need you with us.

More information: https://www.au.org/

Photo of the Dome of the Capital building with the caption: It doesn't have to be this way.

This moment marks a turning point in our nation’s history. The second Trump Administration has officially begun, ushering in what we expect to be an aggressive & unrelenting assault on the separation of church and state. As Trump and his Shadow Network of Christian Nationalist allies rewrite the rules to impose their narrow religious agenda, Americans United is spearheading the opposition with resolve & determination. Our fight has never been more crucial.

That’s why today is the official launch of our Freedom Without Favor Fund – an urgent 4-year, $5 million initiative to fortify our work in the courts, legislatures, and communities across the country.

Extraordinary moments demand extraordinary action. We are lawyering up, staffing up, and leveling up Americans United with the tools, resources, and resilience necessary to defend the rights of every American and protect the fundamental promise of religious freedom without favor and equality without exception. Make no mistake – their overreach is our opportunity for progress.

No politician – whether it’s Donald Trump or anyone else – will deter Americans United from defending religious freedom for all. For the better part of a century, we’ve stood firm against attempts to erode church-state separation and we’re not stopping now.

The fight is here, and the fight is now. It's time to get to work.
With hope,
Rachel K. Laser

I guess that one way to arrange more #MurderForProfit conveniently.
