SUMMARY:Invitation to Tue. 6-24-25 Noon Zoom Clearinghouse on Women's Issues Meeting
DESCRIPTION:https://us02web.zoom.us/ meeting/register/ tZApdumorjwiHtRC2_ MZGFCpNQz79Kah67k5 \nAfter registering at above link\, or CWI webpage https://womensclearinghouse.org\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting Tue 6-24\, 2025\, 12 noon to 1:15 PM (ET). \n“Understanding and Counteracting Threats to Reproductive Rights” \nIt is a major challenge for feminists to keep informed of the major threats to reproductive rights that have increased in the current Trump 2 Administration at the Federal and State levels. We have experts to help us understand the history\, types\, and importance of these threats to women’s health in general and to understand the possibilities and challenges of medication as it is used for contraception and abortion in the U.S and the world. Jan Erickson\, Co-President of CWI will introduce the presenters and moderate this CWI meeting with questions and answers from the virtual participants. \nAngela Cobian\, Senior Director of Organizing\, Partnerships\, and Constituency Team\, Policy\, Campaigns\, and Advocacy Division\, Planned Parenthood Action Fund\, Planned Parenthood Federation of America or an alterative Planned Parenthood expert will lead the discussion by providing a brief history of contraception\, abortion and Planned Parenthood in the US. Then she will discuss the Post Roe threats such as what was covered in Project 2025\, the Trump Exec Orders\, Congressional Legislation\, and especially threatening state legislation. She will then cover strategies and actions that give us hope and describe how we can counteract these threats. She will conclude by describing  what is needed to save federal funding for Planned Parenthood which was threatened by the House version with  the elimination of Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood Health Clinics. \n Kirsten Moore\, Director of Expanding  Medication Abortion Access (EMAAProject.org) which seeks to improve  the way medications prescribed for medication abortion care are dispensed in the U.S. to make the process consistent with the medical and scientific evidence and to meet women’s needs. Kirsten Moore will focus on the difference between emergency contraception and abortion. She will also explain how medications often used for abortions also help with many other health solutions and thus why restrictions on their use are even more dangerous. Her call to action is for MifeInAll 50. \nCWI Elections \nAfter the Q&A at the end of the meeting\, we will have the CWI annual elections meeting of its officers and board of directors.  Please let Sue Klein or Jan Erickson know if you would like to join us on the CWI Board. The Board Members who will continue to the second year of their term include Holly Taggert Joseph\, Treasurer; Kathy Chiron\, Secretary; and Loretto Gubernatis\, VP Media Outreach. The Members who will run for reelection during the 6/24 meeting to terms ending in 2027 include Sue Klein and Jan Erickson\, Co-Presidents; Connie Cordovilla\, VP Membership; Alotta Taylor\, VP Diversity; Jeanette Lim Esbrook\, VP Legal Affairs; and Sherry Klein\, VP Technology. \nCordially\, \nSue Klein and Jan Erickson\, Co-Presidents\, CWI \nsklein@feminist.org> <http://www.feminist.org/

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: The truth about immigration in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles student Jasyln Hernandez graduated from high school last week\, just like thousands of other teenagers. But her father wasn’t there to see it.1 \nHe was one of two dozen people taken in an ICE raid at a carwash where he worked\, and Jaslyn doesn’t know when she’ll see him again. Only four of the 26 people detained have been located by their families.2 \nICE raids of workplaces\, courthouses\, and even school neighborhoods are becoming more frequent\, with a goal of arresting 3\,000 people a day\, separating families and shutting down businesses. And now the National Guard are accompanying ICE on many of these raids.3 \nDonald Trump campaigned on deporting “criminals” but the reality has been very different. What laws allow ICE to detain people without due process? What happens to children once their parents are taken? And what can we do to help protect this vulnerable community? We’re going to find out! \nJoin us on Tuesday\, June 24\, at 7:30PM ET to hear from Mayra Casas Jackson of the Immigrant & Refugee Law Center as we discuss immigration basics\, the rights of immigrants\, and how you can offer real support.  \nRSVP now for Understanding Immigration Enforcement and How to Help on Tuesday\, June 24 at 7:30PM ET! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur immigrant neighbors are a vital part of our communities and they deserve to feel safe\, supported\, and welcome. \nNot only do immigrants without legal status pay nearly $60 billion in federal taxes every year\, but they are people who expand the beautiful tapestry that makes up our nation.4 \nTaking action at the local level can absolutely make a difference\, as it is our local representatives who decide whether to protect kids in our schools or use local jails to hold arrested immigrants and help ICE facilitate these raids. \nPlus\, mass disinformation is being spread about immigrants and their rights. That’s why we’ve invited Mayra to help set the record straight! \nNow is the time to get the facts about immigration in the U.S. Join us on Tuesday\, June 24 to learn about how we can take action! \nSee you there! \nJulie \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to know more? We’ve got you! \n1. “ICE Kidnappings Stoke Fear and Outrage Across Los Angeles\,” The American Prospect\, June 11\, 2025 \n2. “Family separated by ICE\,” LAist\, June 11\, 2025 \n3. “Trump’s case for sending troops to help ICE involves precedent from Fugitive Slave Act\,” The Los Angeles Times\, June 14\, 2025 \n4. “Study says undocumented immigrants paid almost $100 billion in taxes\,” Alabama Reflector\, August 2\, 2024
