Since the Dobbs ruling, abortion access has been gutted across the country—hitting workers and families hardest. Unions have a critical role to play: organizing members, fighting at the state level, and securing protections on the job.

The same politicians attacking our right to organize are attacking our right to abortion—it’s all about control. Unions fight for our freedom to control our bodies and our futures. Now’s the time to act: organize members, join local fights, and bargain for abortion protections.
