I recently learned about “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (CPCs) and feel compelled to shout from the rooftops the enraging facts I now know. These centers often pretend to provide pregnancy care. But they are usually no more than anti-abortion propaganda centers.
Massachusetts must become a leader in removing the most lethal guns from the streets – guns that were designed for military use in combat.
Indivisible Worcester recently hosted a presentation by the Falmouth Gun Safety Coalition (FGSC), a Massachusetts-based 501(C)(3) organization. FGSC represents gun owners and others who work to reduce gun violence through education and legislation.
The 28th Amendment will end the disastrous experiment in the theory that money is speech and corporations are people. It will stop the flood of special interest money and give Americans an equal right to participate and be represented as citizens in this republic.
There are some 35 places in Massachusetts that advertise pregnancy or abortion information and counseling to pregnant women that provide no abortion care services at all, yet some women mistakenly end up there.
Wareham almost opted out of mail-in voting for the upcoming municipal election. If not for the watchful eye of one resident, we might have lost the option for mail-in voting.
There are more than 30 “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) located in Massachusetts — outnumbering the state’s 20 clinics and hospitals that provide abortion healthcare. These so-called fake clinics outnumber the state’s 11 abortion clinics three to one.
At the height of the ‘60s, a group of young women in Chicago dropped out of the male-dominated civil rights and anti-war movements to do something about terrible experiences pregnant women were facing.
Pausing to savor partial successes is one way to sustain ourselves in the struggle to preserve democracy and build a fairer, more sustainable country. It's been a hell of a week, even if we're working for so much more. Enjoy it!
Indivisible members protested around the Commonwealth on May 14, 2022 to show our determination to protect abortion rights. Young and old, women and allies expressed their anger at Justice Alito’s dismissive draft opinion. The feeling in the crowd was angry and frustrated — but also energized, determined, and even humorous. Large rallies were held elsewhere in the state and around the U.S. to send a clear message: We’re not going back!
We’ve talked for years about the lack of transparency in the MA Statehouse, how it is ranked in the bottom fourth of the nation, how it often takes a decade for laws with popular support to get passed. Our Statehouse suffers from many of the problems that David Pepper outlines, it just has a veneer of blue.
Residents of Texas who need access to abortion must now leave their home state to access care. Texans are essentially living as if it were 1972, before Roe vs. Wade. Anyone who seeks abortion care — and those who help them — can be severely penalized.
I recently completed the 5-session workshop entitled “White People Challenging Racism (WPCR) – Moving from Talk to Action.” I signed up for this with some trepidation, not knowing what to expect. I am a white woman in my 60s and, to be honest, in the early stage of my racial awareness journey.
