Two Florida mothers, Cherise Doyley and Brianna Bennett, were ambushed by a judge, lawyers and medical staff who held a virtual hearing -- while they were actively laboring -- to force them to have a court-ordered C-section against their will.

Debra Rojas, Ana Murguia and civil rights leader Dolores Huerta have come forward with harrowing stories of surviving sexual abuse and rape at the hands of Cesar Chavez. We believe them. It's time for California universities to remove Chavez's name and likeness from buildings, programs, murals and student spaces, and replace them with the farmworkers who powered the labor movement.
A member of Congress just filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi, charging her with obstruction of Congress, dereliction of duty, and obstructing justice in her handling of the Epstein files. Will you help us ramp up the pressure on Congress to follow through and force Bondi out of the Justice Department?
Casey Wasserman lent his power and influence to the late serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which allowed his abuse to continue for years. We don't want a pedophile enabler representing Los Angeles, let alone the entire country, on the world's largest stage.

Defense Secretary Hegseth recently gave AI company Anthropic a dangerous ultimatum: Give the DoD unrestricted access to AI systems or be blacklisted from government contracts. Why? Because Hegseth wants to use AI to supercharge mass surveillance and war. Tell tech leaders: Don’t give the Pentagon blanket access to AI.
The Senate vote on the so-called “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” (SAVE) Act and suite of sister voter suppression bills could happen as early as this week.

NPR recently reported that the Justice Department catalogued but still did not publicly release at least 53 pages of FBI interview records tied to sexual abuse allegations involving President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, including records related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her at age 13.

What we need is accountability for ICE killers like Jonathan Ross. What we don't need is a corporation like GoFundMe profiting from our pain and legitimizing state-sanctioned terror. Send a message directly to GoFundMe decision makers now to demand they take down fundraisers for Ross and ban fundraisers for all ICE killers.
If the Senate refuses to extend life-saving health care tax credits, millions of people will lose their health insurance because they won't be able to afford it.
There's not just one GoFundMe campaign that has raised nearly $400,000 for Good's killer–someone has now launched a second page to fund his defense. These campaigns violate GoFundMe's own policies that prohibit raising money for the legal defense of a person accused of committing a violent crime. They also make GoFundMe complicit in legitimizing ICE's campaign of terror and violence on our communities. We say HELL NO!
Elon Musk’s Grok AI is generating sexualized images of real people, including minors, without their consent. This is sexual abuse. Demand Apple and Google remove Grok from their app stores now.
The video evidence is clear. Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE in cold blood.

Demand the House Oversight Committee rein in ICE and investigate ICE killings!
Demand that members of the House Oversight Committee make sure that the Department of Justice releases ALL the Epstein files with minimal required redactions by the December 19 deadline.
This change in status would cut in HALF the amount of loans students can take out for degrees like teaching and nursing, and delegitimize these women-dominated fields.

On October 20, 2025, the world discovered in real time the dangers of allowing Amazon to control so much of the internet when its Amazon Web Services went dark for nearly 15 hours. Every day, technology that we depend on--from Slack to smart beds--malfunctioned. The blackout didn’t just inconvenience our lives but put us in danger. A handful of companies should not have control over the functioning of nearly the entire internet. Tell the FTC to take action.
Far too many women musicians' careers are controlled, cut short, and even destroyed by men in the classical-music industry who wield power over them and abuse them sexually. Sign to demand that all orchestras take action to stop the abuse.
The future of breast cancer research is in danger — and most American women don’t even know what they’re losing. The Trump administration is decreasing, threatening, or eliminating altogether millions of dollars needed to continue lifesaving research into cancers — including breast cancer. This October, let’s raise awareness about breast cancer research cuts — because our lives are more important than politics.
For the safety of women and children in cities occupied by ICE, Apple and Google need to restore ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

We want to make sure Congress knows that there’s massive opposition to allowing Artificial Intelligence companies to go unchecked. Beating this bill is not just important, but it's winnable.
Most real ICE agents wear masks and refuse to identify themselves. Now, sexual predators are impersonating them and preying on women. Demand Congress pass the No Secret Police Act to force ICE agents to remove masks and identify themselves. This would not only deter impersonators, but also give people the chance to identify and file complaints against ICE agents who violate their rights.
ABC just suspended Jimmy Kimmel after his latest critique of the Trump administration. The firing comes after the chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) threatened retribution against ABC.

We just need a few more signatures to reach the 218 signatures required to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Will you make a call to your House representative urging them to sign on?
AB 260 would allow pharmacists to dispense mifepristone and other drugs used for medication abortion without putting the names of the patient, provider or pharmacy on the prescription label. This important safety precaution would protect patient and provider privacy and ensure people across the U.S. can safely access medication abortion from California doctors via telehealth.

Just six months after the Trump administration reinstated the Global Gag Rule and cut billions of dollars in foreign aid, the U.S. Department of State has announced that it will destroy $10 million in contraceptives, rather than send them to women in conflict zones in African countries. Demand Secretary of State Marco Rubio release the contraceptives now.
Tell the WNBA: Your business is booming thanks to your players' labor. Negotiate in good faith, and pay them fairly!

OMB Director Russel Vought lied to Congress saying that PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) had sent millions of dollars to Russia to advise doctors on how to perform abortions and “gender analysis.” Lying to Congress is a federal crime.

The Senate just passed its version of Trump's big ugly budget bill. It's not enough that Republicans are looking to gut Medicaid even further than previously planned. The bill will also eliminate food aid for hungry children, cut prenatal care for pregnant women, end job training programs for students--the list goes on and on. Call House member now to block this sexist and cruel bill.
Trump just deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of active duty-Marines to Los Angeles--without the consent of California’s governor, Gavin Newsom. If Congress doesn’t immediately withdraw the military from Los Angeles, it will legitimize Trump’s actions and send a dangerous signal to his authoritarian cronies. Congress can’t give Trump an inch. He will take a mile.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) threatened legal action against California public schools if they continued to follow the California law allowing transgender athletes to compete in high school sports. Demand that your local school board NOT cave to Trump and his cronies.
Trump has formally requested that Congress cancel $9.4 billion in approved funding for programs like public broadcasting and foreign aid after DOGE already froze billions of dollars allocated to them.

We have less than 45 days to stop this from happening. Take action now.

So-called 'crisis pregnancy centers' (CPCs), or fake abortion clinics, are predatory and deceptive, and they put pregnant people's lives at risk by delaying actual health care.

A company called ShadowDragon uses its tools to pull personal information about us from hundreds of everyday websites like BabyCenter, Etsy, and Nextdoor, and hand it over to government agencies.

Florida’s insurance regulator set a horrifying precedent that’s going overlooked: It demanded individual patient data, including names, prescription drug usage, dates of birth, and the doctors patients have seen from companies that manage prescription drugs. This is dangerous and unacceptable. Take action now.
Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida’s gerrymandered Republican majority in the state legislature are trying to make it nearly impossible for everyday people like you and I to get citizen-led measures on the ballot--and even harder to pass them.

Andrew Tate is wanted on charges of rape and human trafficking in the United Kingdom and under investigation for the sexual exploitation of minors in Romania.

Nearly 160 million people get their health-care coverage through Medicare or Medicaid--most of them women and elderly individuals living in poverty. Privatization would put these successful programs in the hands of health insurance fat cats who care more about profits than the well-being of the American people. We can't sit by and let Oz take charge of CMS.
This baseless voter suppression bill would create unnecessary barriers to voting for people of color, young people, disabled people, transgender people and tribal voters, not to mention the TENS of MILLIONS of married women who have changed their names. Demand House members block the Save Act now.
Public education is one of our nation's most important services--the great equalizer that has helped children from lower-income homes reach the middle class--and we can't let Trump's horrible pick for secretary of education, Linda McMahon, dismantle it.

CNN is stoking the flames of hate at a dangerous time, when Islamophobia and baseless fears around Muslim activism are at a fever pitch--and when women of color leaders are increasingly attacked for speaking out, championing workplace diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and calling out the horrific violence against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Due to pressure from correctional authorities, AB 2527, the so-called Dignified Care of Incarcerated Pregnancy Act, was amended to allow the solitary confinement of incarcerated pregnant people for up to five days. Let's be clear: This newly amended bill is not aligned with the recommendations of the United Nations, the U.S. Department of Justice, or international standards, all of which call for a complete ban on solitary confinement for pregnant people. If you live in California, please call Governor Gavin Newsom to tell him to veto this bill!
SafeSport has left hundreds of young gymnasts in the care of coaches accused of serious misconduct. Athletes are calling for better protections to prevent not just sexual abuse but physical and emotional abuse from coaches who foster an environment of fear that prevents young women and girls from reporting misconduct.

In light of all of the evidence showing that Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have repeatedly engaged in transgressions that undermine our highest court and democracy, it is crucial that the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee begin impeachment proceedings against them immediately. Have your cell phone handy and fill out the form below to call your House Representative.
Neil Gaiman, the author of bestselling novels adapted to the big screen such as Coraline and The Sandman, has been credibly accused of sexually assaulting and exploiting multiple young women whose jobs and/or housing depended on maintaining a working relationship with him. In a heartbreaking and triggering story in New York magazine, eight women shared similar and disturbingly detailed accounts of Gaiman raping them, sodomizing them, beating them with a belt, and even sexually assaulting them in front of his young son.
If the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)--a constitutional amendment–had been passed when the suffragists first introduced the concept at the turn of the 20th century, this would have saved generations of women from discrimination and heartache like the wage gap, lack of care infrastructure to fully participate in the formal workplace, attacks on our reproductive rights, and more. The good news is all of the requirements of Article 5 to establish an amendment to the Constitution have been met. Congress just needs to officially publish it!
The Comstock Act is a 150-year-old law passed when women could not vote that Republicans are resurrecting to ban all abortion care nationwide, without exceptions. Please fill out this short survey to let us know how much you know about this law.
No one should be denied life-saving care or be criminalized because of a pregnancy. Yet, companies such as T-Mobile, CVS, GM and Elevance Health have funded the MAGA Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and its coordinated attacks on our reproductive and civil rights. Let these companies know that they are on notice!
We are still reeling from the misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies about abortion that flew out of Donald Trump’s mouth during this year’s first presidential debate, and President Joe Biden’s failure to shut them down. Once again, CNN, which hosted the debate, gave Trump free reign to spew toxic and confusing claims about exceptions to state and federal bans, abortions later in pregnancy, and "abortions after birth"--a delusional term concocted by GOP radicals. Sign the petition to tell CNN to stop platforming abortion lies!
At the end of June, we held a Zoom call with our members featuring reproductive freedom experts and activists Jodi Jacobson, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, and David Cohen. The call focused on the Comstock Act of 1873, a 150-year-old law that Republicans are trying to resurrect to ban abortion nationwide. While it was frightening to learn all the ways the far right could use this antiquated law to control us, we were also heartened to learn that bills to repeal the Comstock Act have been introduced in the House and Senate, and we are already fighting for their passage.
Harvey Weinstein is a serial sexual predator who was fairly convicted. There is no doubt he committed the crimes he is accused of. It is outrageous that survivors must endure their trauma again by re-telling their stories in another trial. That’s why we are calling on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to swiftly retry Weinstein in a trauma-informed way that takes into consideration the needs of survivors.
Anti-abortion groups used the location data of people who visited 600 Planned Parenthood clinics across 48 states and targeted them with anti-abortion ads. While this is extremely alarming, it’s not surprising. But now we have a unique opportunity to prevent Near Intelligence, the company that’s been gathering and selling our location data, from ever doing so again. We need your help to force the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to intervene on our behalf and prevent this data broker from being able to sell our location data.
Anti-abortion extremists are exploiting the Comstock Act, a draconian law from 1873 that bans the U.S. Postal Service and other carriers from mailing materials deemed “obscene.” They are using the law to prohibit the mailing of the abortion pill mifepristone or any drugs, instruments, or supplies for abortion care. The policy could also be enforced to stop medication from reaching people with HIV and AIDS, and even bar access to books that discuss women's history. As long as Congress keeps Comstock on the books, right-wing extremists will have a powerful tool to control our lives. Congress must repeal the Comstock Act immediately!
You may have heard that deepfake pornographic images of Taylor Swift went viral on X (formerly known as Twitter) last week, but you probably haven’t heard of Francesca Mani, the 15-year-old girl in New Jersey who was also a victim of deepfake porn. While the AI-generated images of Taylor Swift may have been removed, most people don’t have an army of fans who can come to their defense online. Congress can protect all of us from this abuse by passing the DEFIANCE Act, which will create a federal civil remedy for victims who are identifiable in a “digital forgery,” which is defined as a visual depiction created through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or any other computer-generated or technological means to falsely appear to be authentic. Please add your name in support of this important bill today!
Tell Facebook: Make all messages encrypted by default, and stop aiding the criminalization of abortion.
The far-right stacked Supreme Court, including three Trump-appointed justices, issued a ruling in July that grants presidents immunity for crimes committed as official acts while in office. This decision sets a dangerous precedent and is a direct affront to our democracy. Sign now to tell Congress: Pass the No Kings Act now. No president is above the law.
Ultraviolet Action
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!
