BREAKING: The Trump administration just released a discriminatory rule that rolls back the birth control benefit. #HandsOffMyBC 1/
2/ We’re reading the rule now – watch this thread for updates.
3/ Admin claims no evidence showing BC is good for women, ignoring DECADES of research and all the women who use BC to PROTECT their health.
4/ They claim few women will be impacted. They’re lying. 62.4 MILLION women have this coverage NOW, & it puts them all at risk.
5/ And while we know how many cis women will be affected, there are untold numbers of trans folks who will be too. bit.ly/2mRXprc
6/ Rule refers to other orgs that provide low-cost birth control – yet this admin wants to cut funding from many of these orgs, like @PPFA.
7/ Rule says IUDs are available for $50 a month, but without insurance coverage an IUD can cost up to $1,000 — that's outrageous.
8/ Also outrageous? Their implication that BC coverage causes young adults to engage in risky sexual behavior.
9/ This rule goes into effect immediately — which means people could lose coverage starting just 30 days from today. #HandsOffMyBC
10/ If you're worried about losing coverage, contact us — we can help. #HandsOffMyBC on.nwlc.org/2hRWjza
11/ The rule enables a huge list of people – employers, schools, insurance companies – to deny coverage for almost any reason. #HandsOffMyBC
12/ Simply put, this rule will be devastating for women. #HandsOffMyBC on.nwlc.org/2hCCCLD

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is getting death threats. She had to leave her house. Just for telling her truth.

@realdonaldtrump, you’re a monster.
Let’s break down the rape myths you are pushing to discredit a survivor.

First, many people don’t report their assaults. Why? Look at what is happening to Dr. Blasey Ford DECADES after this happened.
There is no “perfect” survivor. The idea that a 15 yo girl who experienced assault would have immediately reported it to the police, or even her parents, is ridiculous and insulting to the thousands of women and girls who have experienced sexual assault and the ensuing trauma.

This should be obvious, but rumors about a woman sleeping her way to the top of the corporate ladder can constitute sexual harassment under federal law. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo on.nwlc.org/2xx50pW
Malicious rumors questioning a woman’s professional expertise and upward mobility:
➡️ Damage her career
➡️ Subject her to sexual harassment
➡️ Discriminate against her based on sex
In fact, malicious rumors about an employee of 𝐚𝐧𝐲 gender getting promoted based on sexual conduct or favors is a form of sexual harassment. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo

BREAKING: @BetsyDeVosED just announced the Dep. of Ed is attacking longstanding critical Title IX protections for sexual assault survivors.
These guidelines are critical for making sure schools support and protect survivors — and now @BetsyDeVosED wants to destroy them.
DeVos is opening up the guidance for comment — but don't be fooled. This is a straight up attack on survivors' civil rights.
