PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Consent education = teen dating violence prevention.



 

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, Inc.

Dear SEARCHINGFORREASON.NET,
February 1st marks the beginning of Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. This year, the month carries a special significance as women and people of all gender identities across the country are coming forward to share their experiences with sexual harassment, assault, and relationship violence. Here in Massachusetts, we know how prevalent these issues are – especially among young people: in 2015, 9 percent of Massachusetts high schoolers reported being physically hurt by someone they were dating. 
President Trump's cold dismissal of the #MeToo movement makes it imperative that we take action here in Massachusetts. The Healthy Youth Act would require lessons about consent, healthy relationships, and how to recognize the signs of dating violence in public schools that choose to teach sex education. 
We have the power to make headway in preventing teen dating violence and sexual assault. On the first day of Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, let's take meaningful action to put the health and safety of our teens first. 
Thank you for joining me in this fight.

DONALD TRUMPS SOTUS- COMMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER. #6.

MEMBER OF CONGRESS DAVID CICILLINE.

Dear David,

Tonight, President Trump had the opportunity to bring our country together, but instead he chose to double down on his divisive and destructive agenda – comprised of little substance or facts – that has come to define his failing Administration.

Over the last year, President Trump’s policies have come at grave costs to the very people he pledged to protect. He said he would bring American jobs back, but has overseen jobs being shipped overseas at an alarming rate. He has led Republicans’ ideological crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act, driving up health care costs and taking away health coverage from millions of Americans. He has torn families apart and threatened to deport young people who are Americans in every sense of the word except for a sheet of paper. His only ‘legislative accomplishment’ is a tax scam that has sold the future of our workers, seniors, and the middle class to pad the pockets of big corporations, the wealthy, and the well-off. This is not what the American people signed up for.

While President Trump and Washington Republicans have caused confusion, crisis, and chaos, Democrats are focused on investing in hardworking families. We’re working to build an economy that puts Americans first. We’re fighting to create good-paying jobs, to ensure hard work is rewarded with good wages and to deliver workers the tools they need to be successful in the 21st century. A Better Deal – better jobs, better wages, and a better future – that is our collective vision for a stronger, more prosperous America, and we stand ready to work with any Republican willing to work in a bipartisan fashion to solve some of America’s biggest challenges.

Warm regards,
 
 
David N. Cicilline
Member of Congress
    

DONALD TRUMPS SOTUS- COMMENTS BEFORE AND AFTER. #5.

.ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, MARK HERRING. 
A year ago today.
David: One year ago today, I decided to take a stand against intolerance and discrimination, officially challenging the Trump administration's bigoted travel ban.
To me, the choice was clear: The ban was – and remains – unjust, unconstitutional and un-American. It was intended to stoke fear, division and distrust in our communities, trying to mask the worst kind of discrimination with mounds of legal jargon. But I saw the ban for exactly what it was, and so did the federal judge who heard our case and blocked the ban.
Looking back, I couldn’t be prouder of how Virginians acted that week. When I rushed to Dulles International Airport, I was met by dozens of Virginians who were protesting the ban and welcoming to our country the very people the Trump administration had tried to keep out.
All these months later, I want you to know that I’m going to keep fighting for these principles every day of this new term – and that I’ll never, ever shy away from speaking out for every person who calls our Commonwealth home, no matter where they’re from, how they pray or who they love.
Of course, the work isn’t over. There’ll be more challenges to come, but with you by my side, ready to fight for what’s right and what’s decent, I know that we’ll be more than ready to take on any of the challenges that this new year brings.
Thank you for all you’ve done this past year, David – now let’s get back to work!
Mark.
