Resist Trump’s gag rule: Rally in Boston this Thursday. Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts.

Searchingforreason.N—

I’m sure you heard – the Trump-Pence administration is preparing to launch its most dangerous attack on reproductive rights and health ever. Their domestic “gag rule” will restrict access for 4 million patients from the care and information they need to stay healthy, including birth control, STI testing and treatment, and lifesaving cancer screenings. Doctors and nurses across the country will be prevented from caring for their patients by forbidding them to make referrals for abortion. This is a cruel policy and it must be stopped.

Fight the Trump-Pence administration’s gag rule by rallying with us in downtown Boston.

Resist Trump's Gag Rule: Rally in Boston

Outside the John F. Kennedy Federal Building

15 Sudbury Street, Boston

Thursday, May 24

5:30 pm to 7:30 pm

RSVP Link

Facebook Event

This gag rule would be an unprecedented restriction on Title X, the nation’s family planning program, which serves over 66,000 people in Massachusetts. It is also specifically designed to hurt Planned Parenthood patients, which include over 40% of Title X patients nationally. We will not tolerate Trump’s cruel agenda.

We need your help to reject the Trump-Pence agenda. Sign up to fight back against their cruel attacks.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight – and I hope to see you on Thursday!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Childs-Roshak, MD, MBA

President

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts

P.S. Spread the word: Invite your friends and family to Thursday’s emergency rally on Facebook.

"One man and One woman." GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MOLLY KELLY.

Dear David,

Did you see what Chris Sununu’s Republican Party did last weekend? During its annual convention, the state GOP embraced marriage as only between “one man and one woman” in its platform, excluding all other families.

We can’t let Republicans take us backward. We need Democrats to win in 2018, and that starts with the governorship in Concord. 

Did Chris Sununu reject this extreme platform and stand up for all families? No, in fact, he tweeted about how great the convention was and how “fired up” his supporters were.

Nearly a decade ago, I helped make New Hampshire one of the first states to pass marriage equality. I’ve always championed equal rights, and I played a key role in the New Hampshire Senate passing a state constitutional amendment in 2014 to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. As governor, I’ll continue to build a New Hampshire that includes everyone.

Join me in rejecting discrimination and standing up for all of our families by supporting my campaign for governor of New Hampshire. 

Thank you.

Molly

Tonights the night. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ALEC ROSS.

David,

Tonight’s the night. After a year on the campaign trail and dozens of forums, tonight is the first televised debate of the primary.

This is our chance to bring our message to Maryland, and we’re not going to miss it.

The other candidates are all going to treat this like they’ve been treating this entire race-- repeating their same old talking points of 20th-century Democratic party doctrine. We’re going to do something different. I joined this race because I know talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. I’ve been running my entire campaign focused on people’s problems, and I can’t wait for you to hear my ideas tonight.

Here’s a preview:

We’re going to get biometric smartgrips on guns, so we can end the problem of guns falling into the hands of people who aren’t supposed to have them.

We’re going to pioneer new ways to treat pain without over-prescribing opioids.

We’re going to legalize marijuana, regulate it, and tax it, and in the process we’ll create 18,000 jobs and bring in over $200 million in revenue we can invest in our communities.

...tune in at 7 PM tonight on WBAL-TV 11 and Maryland Public Television statewide.

Thank you,

- Alec Ross
