IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS

Hi there, It’s Tuesday. The US has sunk several small Iranian boats as Iran launches attacks on the UAE and other ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a gerrymandered map in Florida, giving Republicans an additional four seats. And though the Supreme Court offered a brief reprieve for abortion pills, the issue is still alive before the justices and will continue to come under attack before, during, and after the midterm elections. A recent federal court decision effectively banning access to mifepristone marks a dramatic escalation in the rollback of abortion rights. When a federal court bans a widely used medication, the effect is not theoretical—it is fewer options for care, longer travel distances, and increased barriers for patients. Framing this as routine litigation obscures the scale of the restriction. 🖊️ Add your name to call on major news organizations to cover these rulings with clarity and urgency—explaining who is affected, how access to care is being curtailed, and what it means for reproductive rights nationwide ...SUBSCRIBE TO CIVIC SHOUT and JOIN WITH OTHERS TO SPEAK OUT! The public deserves reporting that makes clear when rights are being stripped away, not coverage that minimizes the consequences.
