With gratitude and grace for everyone who wants to get involved and help people seeking abortions: PLEASE stop offering your home or spare room to strangers on the internet. There are lots of reasons not to AND lots of things you can do instead. 🧵
The time to prevent another mass tragedy is now. Congress must take action and pass common sense gun reform. The overwhelming majority of Americans support expanded background checks, and a ban on assault weapons.

Hi 👋 We’re a research program at @UCSF that studies reproductive health, rights, and access.
There is a lot of misinformation cropping up about abortion access right now. Follow us to get the facts.
If you’re already with us, hit RT so we can spread some science 🤓
Ever since Roe was decided, recognizing the right to abortion, anti-choice lawmakers and extremists have actively tried to deny people that right. This is why we urgently need the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), and why we need it NOW. #PassWHPA
🚨🚨 EVERY eligible provision of the #Momnibus has PASSED the House of Representatives in the #BuildBackBetter Act!
Along with yearlong postpartum Medicaid coverage in every state, this is the largest investment in history to save moms' lives & advance birth equity in America!
