Abortion bans like the one passed in Alabama are a violation of human rights. These bans will be deadly. They will endanger pregnant people’s lives. They will re-victimize survivors of rape and sexual violence by denying them their rights. We must not go back.

The people of Sudan are protesting for their freedom, but authorities have shut down the internet and led a brutal crackdown in a bid to close them off from the rest of the world. The world needs to know what’s happening in Sudan. Help get their message out. #WeAreSudan
