SCOTUS SET TO END ROE V. WADE

It's a grim moment in the U.S. as the right-wing Supreme Court majority is poised, according to a leaked draft opinion, to overturn Roe v. Wade and related ruling Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

The draft opinion, penned by Justice Samuel Alito and endorsed by four other archconservatives on the court, not only explicitly argues for the dismantling of Roe and Casey but provides ominous signs that the rights of other Americans—particularly LGBTQ+ people—are very much in the crosshairs. (There is also much sturm und drang about the leak itself.)

The issue will undoubtedly become the focus of this fall's midterm elections. Will activists be able to galvanize a wave to halt the nation's march to the far right?

A mantra of progressive politics is "Don't mourn; organize." Below are some ways you can get involved. Stay tuned.
