It’s been a week since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that had guaranteed the right to an abortion since 1973. This is an unprecedented attack on women’s rights and reproductive freedom. Every person who can become pregnant deserves reproductive autonomy. Our firm unequivocally supports the right to safe and legal abortions.

We are actively listening to advocacy groups working towards protecting these rights and pledging sustained contributions to organizations that provide reproductive healthcare. Because the Supreme Court’s ruling disproportionately harms Black, Brown, and other people impacted by systemic inequities, SZ is supporting groups that serve vulnerable communities. We respect the personal choice of each sovereign individual, and believe that abortion access should be a fundamental right, regardless of race, gender, identity, economic status, or location.

The Court’s hostile ruling makes it clear that other freedoms are at risk. There is too much at stake for silence or inaction. We urge you to use your voice, resources and vote to stand against oppression in all its forms.

I've been thinking a lot about what resistance means.

We have an archetype of resistance.

Loud.
Brash.
Confrontational.

Those things matter. But resistance is so much more.

Resistance requires that we confound the status quo - challenge acceptable norms through our actions.

Joy is resistance.

Oppression doesn't actually have room for your happiness. You resist it when you find joy anyhow.

Love is resistance.
Living unapologetically is resistance.

Oppression doesn't give marginalized people our full humanity. Being fully human flies in its face.

Hope is resistance.

If you let it, this fight will destroy the hope you have in our ability to change things. But change is fueled by hope.

Rest is resistance.
Music is resistance.
Culture is resistance.
Language is resistance.

For marginalized folks, existence is resistance.

We are not supposed to be here. Living, laughing, working, loving.

But we're still here.

And if you are wondering how to step up, get involved, and push forward to a just and equitable world...

Your role in social change starts two steps past where you're comfortable.

Find that place. Take two steps past there.

And begin.
