Gloria Steinem leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape the work of feminists, advocates and organizations like the YWCA.

For decades, she championed gender equity, economic empowerment, reproductive freedom, safety and the rights of women and girls. Her relationship with the YWCA reflected a shared belief that creating a more just world requires collective action and a commitment to challenging systems of inequality.

As we remember her life and leadership, we also recognize the responsibility to carry this work forward. Her legacy reminds us that change is possible when ordinary people come together to create something better.

Abortion rights are not only being debated in Mexican legislatures. They are being challenged through coordinated misinformation, digital campaigns, activist training, political pressure and public demonstrations.

In Aguascalientes, the legal limit was reduced from 12 weeks to 6 weeks after conservative legislators pushed for restrictions. In Guanajuato, abortion remains criminalized through state legislation despite Supreme Court rulings finding criminalization unconstitutional.

Investigations have documented networks connecting Mexican and international conservative organizations, as well as organized digital campaigns targeting reproductive rights advocates and lawmakers.

This is about more than misinformation online. When false information is used to influence public opinion and political decisions, it can directly affect people’s access to reproductive healthcare.

Accurate information is reproductive justice.

Swipe through to learn more about how these campaigns are organized and their impact on abortion rights in Mexico.

On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we recognize that there is no single Indigenous experience. There are more than 5,000 distinct Indigenous Peoples and cultures around the world, representing approximately 476 million people across more than 90 countries.

This day is an opportunity to celebrate Indigenous cultures and knowledge, but also to confront the ongoing effects of colonization, displacement, discrimination and the continued extraction of resources from Indigenous territories.

Indigenous rights are human rights. Indigenous sovereignty is climate justice. Indigenous women’s rights are feminist issues.

Four years after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, millions of people across the United States continue to face barriers that extend far beyond the law itself.

Even where abortion is legally available, access can still be limited by mandatory counseling, judicial bypass requirements for minors, long waiting times, travel distances, the cost of care, childcare responsibilities, taking unpaid time off work, language barriers, fear of deportation, stigma, and a shortage of providers.

For many, these barriers overlap. Someone may be navigating financial hardship while also facing immigration concerns or living hours from the nearest clinic. These challenges disproportionately affect people with lower incomes, people of color, immigrants, young people, people with disabilities, and those living in rural communities.

Reproductive justice is about more than protecting the legal right to abortion. It means ensuring that everyone has the practical ability to access care safely, affordably, and with dignity.

Thank you to for this powerful artwork illustrating the many barriers that continue to stand between people and reproductive healthcare.

Not all pregnancy support services provide medical care.

Across the United States, Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) are receiving increasing amounts of public funding while presenting themselves as healthcare providers. Many have been criticized by medical organizations for providing misleading information, delaying access to evidence-based care, and collecting sensitive personal data without the same privacy protections as many healthcare providers.

As this carousel explores, understanding the difference between licensed medical care and ideologically driven services has never been more important.

💛 Share this post to help others recognize what Crisis Pregnancy Centers are and make informed decisions about where they seek care.

📢 Get involved in your community. Support organizations working to protect reproductive healthcare, advocate for transparency and oversight, and encourage your elected representatives to oppose the use of taxpayer funding for organizations that do not provide comprehensive, evidence-based medical care.

Knowledge is power and sharing accurate information can help protect someone’s health, privacy, and ability to make informed choices.

A historic step toward protecting girls and women. 🇨🇴

Colombia has passed the first nationwide legislation in Latin America to prohibit female ge***al mutilation, following years of advocacy from Indigenous women leaders who demanded change.

As Juliana Domicó reminds us, this is not just about legislation — it is about supporting communities, honoring women’s voices, and creating a future where every girl can grow up safe and whole.

These recognitions reflect the ongoing work of YWCA Ulster County in advancing our mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all 💛

They speak to the dedication of our staff, programs, and community partners working every day across racial justice, social justice, and youth advocacy.

We’re especially grateful to honour Athena Fliakos, who has recently stepped down from her role as Executive Director, for her leadership and the impact she made in strengthening this work during her tenure.

Thank you to everyone who voted, and to for uplifting and celebrating the work of local organizations and advocates across the Hudson Valley 🌿
