EVERYONE should have equitable access to the tools they need to build their family. That’s one of the many reasons protecting IVF is so important.

🌏 #WD2026 is where feminist power builds across borders, movements, and generations. This April 2026 in Narrm (Melbourne), we’ll gather to lead, strategize, and shift power together. 🔗 Register now: bit.ly/3U4LGYl
A digital graphic with a beige background and curves with teal, yellow, red, and purple colors that feature weave patterns from the Oceanic Pacific region. The patterns include square motifs in red and yellow and line breakers with circular forms that represent Narrm, the conference’s host country. A circular photo features women from P.A.C.I.F.I.C.A. Incorporated, a national NGO for Pacific women in Aotearoa New Zealand. They are wearing a puletasi, a traditional Samoan woman’s garment consisting of a fitted blouse and a long matching skirt. They are smiling and dancing. Below the image, bold purple text reads: “REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.” Smaller text below says: “Explore our new WD2026 website.” The WD2026 logo appears in the top left. A bright lime green background featuring bold indigo text with the WD2026 logo in the top left corner. The headline reads: “Our goal is bigger than holding the line.” The design is intersected by a large indigo and orange arrow with interwoven sections of orange, red, mint, and white squares and lines. These weave patterns and those with red dots and dotted circles represent Narrm patterns.

Big thank you to @murray.senate.gov for her dedication to keeping reproductive health centers OPEN and OPERATING!

“Defunding” Planned Parenthood would shut down scores of clinics and deny more than a million people access essential health care. We cannot let this stand!

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · Jun 30
🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Our client Kyleigh Thurman needed an abortion to save her life, but she was repeatedly turned away from the ER until she was severely hemorrhaging. She was forced to wait so long that she ended up losing a fallopian tube, compromising her fertility forever.
She Lost Her Fallopian Tube Due to Texas’s Abortion Ban—and Fought Back
But now the Trump administration is potentially making it even harder for other women in banned-abortion states to take a stand in a similar way.

🦋 We’re now on Bluesky! Because feminist advocacy can’t thrive where disinformation, hate, and censorship win.
Let’s build narrative power together! Follow us to get the latest updates on #WD2026, our presence in upcoming global spaces, and more! Read our full statement 👉https://bit.ly/44rLMOK
Graphic with a dark purple background featuring a large, soft-edged blue butterfly silhouette in the center. Bold white text over the butterfly reads: “WE’RE ON BLUESKY!” Below it, smaller white text states: “Feminist advocacy deserves digital spaces that fight with us — not against us.” The top right corner has a teal square with a yellow upward arrow inside a purple box, representing the Women Deliver logo. At the bottom, a row of colorful arrows in yellow and teal in different directions across the lower edge.
