We went. We showed up. And we brought out the crew. 🥹🤎

Shoutout to and every advocate in that room fighting for our FREEDOM — y’all felt like family.

Every state is navigating a different reality after the fall of Roe. But what we found in that space was something powerful: people from across the country refusing to let barriers be the end of the story.

We came together to talk real solutions — for Virginia folks AND patients nationwide.

What does abortion access actually look like on the ground?

How do we build pathways through the barriers?

VIRGINIA’S SOLUTION
The Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom protects Virginians’ freedom to make their own reproductive health care decisions — from contraception to childbirth — without fear of government interference or criminal punishment.

The vitamin K shot is not a vaccine — but it has been swept into the same wave of post-pandemic medical distrust. Social media posts have called it a “toxin.” Podcasters with millions of followers tell parents that needing it means “God designed babies wrong.”

⬅️ Swipe through to learn about the distrust behind vitamin k shot, and what led us to this point.

🗣️Virginians came together to say it loud: Reproductive freedom is not up for debate.

We were honored to have the powerful Krystal L. Pinckney — Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Yoga Therapist, and founder of Embodied by Me — take the mic and speak her truth today.

Krystal reminded us that reproductive justice isn’t abstract policy. It is the story of every birthing person who sat in a room alone. Every family the system failed. Every person who deserved someone in the room fighting for them — and didn’t have it.

She said it plainly: Virginians deserve autonomy. Virginians deserve information. Virginians deserve someone they can trust.

We could not agree more. 💙

The rally is over — but the work is not.

The Reproductive Freedom Amendment needs to be enshrined in Virginia’s constitution — we will not stop until it is. ✅

✅Tomorrow at the Rally for Reproductive Freedom, we are honored to uplift the voice of Krystal L. Pinckney — Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Yoga Therapist, and founder of Embodied by Me.

From perinatal mental health to fertility support for same-sex couples and families navigating IVF and pregnancy loss — Krystal’s work is reproductive justice in action.

Join us alongside Krystal and many other repro-advocates TOMORROW, Saturday May 16th 💛
