The right to contraception is currently protected in the United States by a combination of federal court cases and state legislation. Tens of millions of women and other people of reproductive age rely on contraception to make decisions about their bodies and lives.

Washington, DC — Today, the Supreme Court paused a lower court order that prevented the Trump administration from deporting migrants to countries other than their country of origin without affording them due process.

The United States Congress is using a fast-track budget process known as budget reconciliation to pass legislation that will take away health care and food access from millions of people to pay for tax cuts for corporations and wealthy Americans.

Political violence has no place in our democracy.
