  • Two Years After the Fall of Roe

    Sylvia Ghazarian by: Sylvia Ghazarian
    Two years ago, the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade marked a seismic shift in American reproductive rights. The repercussions have been swift and severe, with sweeping changes that jeopardize the health and autonomy of countless individuals. As we navigate the post-Roe landscape, the stakes could not be higher. In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision, nearly half of the states in the U.S. have enacted strict abortion bans or severe restrictions. States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and 11 other states have implemented near-total bans, effectively cutting off access to abortion care for millions of people.

  • Plastics: It's Personal

    Kathleen Rogers by: Kathleen Rogers
    The battle against plastics began decades ago. In the early days, the focus was on the proliferation of plastic pollution and its impact on land use.

Today, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) provides unprecedented resources to improve the lives of families who are still reeling from COVID-19 and its economic impact as well as the longstanding inequities that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Now Congress is debating a $3.5 trillion budget resolution which, if passed, will increase these resources even more. Luckily, a bold, pragmatic and proven strategy is already in place that can serve as a model: the two generation, or 2Gen, approach.

  • Workers and Families Are Fighting for Paid Time to Care

    Carol Joyner by: Carol Joyner
    When I was just turning forty, with two young children and a full-time job, my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I had never seen her sick a day in my life. She was my rock and the center of our large, rowdy and loving family. I had no idea what the future would hold for her, or us. But I learned quickly about the human cost of policies that do not protect and support workers when it became clear I had to step up as the primary caregiver. My four siblings did not have reliable paid leave benefits. Doctor visits, stage transitions, a multitude of crises -- all of it required my attention.
