UltraViolet on Justice Kennedy’s Retirement from the Supreme Court
Group Says Kennedy’s Retirement, Yesterday’s Decision in NIFLA v. Becerra Shows Women’s Fundamental Rights Are in Critical Danger
Statement from Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet, a national women’s advocacy organization:
“Between yesterday’s Supreme Court decision allowing sham abortion clinics to lie to women and today’s announcement of Justice Kennedy’s retirement – it is now clear that a women’s fundamental right to control her body and her life is in critical danger from all branches of the Federal Government. This is a five-alarm threat to our dignity and self-determination.”

Give for survivor justice taking flight!
While Donald Trump and Pam Bondi want to change the subject, we refuse to let them off the hook for protecting predators. That’s why we're flying airplane banners to keep Trump’s ties to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the news. Epstein’s more than 1,000 survivors deserve transparency and justice. Your gift today will keep the spotlight on Trump’s and Bondi’s deflections and center survivors in the public narrative!
