People Power United’s Statement on Reproductive Freedom for All
People Power United declares that MAGA Republicans are relentlessly attacking reproductive freedom, undermining the rights and autonomy of millions of Americans. Their harmful agenda puts personal medical decisions in the hands of politicians, stripping away essential healthcare and endangering lives.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to harm Americans, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“We must stand united to protect reproductive justice and preserve the rights of all people to control their own bodies. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.
