Sara, Chloe, and much of the US are reeling this week from the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe vs Wade (while disturbingly, some are celebrating). While we much expected it would happen, it still was a major blow.
As we sort through the sorrow, grief and despair that many of us are feeling it's important to acknowledge our feelings, but also to check in with our actions and make sure that we aren't inadvertently self-centering/white-centering our posts and our actions.
We discuss a few important ally faux pas you should be aware of, and highlight the best, most productive ways to focus our energy and support for the folks most effected by this ruling. SPOILER ALERT: There are already really amazing organizations that have been supporting those seeking abortions for decades now!!
