“The re-election of President Trump is deeply alarming as he has already shown us who he is. President-elect Trump based his campaign and previous term in office on fear, hate and rolling back rights that Americans have held dear. Nationwide, we have already seen the deadly impact that abortion bans have had in cutting short the lives of Amber Nicole Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, and others we have yet to name. Despite claiming that he is not tied to the dangerous policies in Project 2025, we know that this is the extremists’ playbook and is a direct and immediate threat to our democracy, reproductive freedom, and lives.”

This statement is attributable to Monica Simpson, Executive Director of SisterSong: Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective:

“As an organization championing Reproductive Justice and human rights, we know that all movements for human rights are inextricably linked, and we are keenly attuned to how state-sponsored violence impacts birthing people and children—who are the focus of our work—the most. Fighting for safe and sustainable communities is at the core of our mission.
