On Jan. 22nd, rallies are planned around the country, but RiseUp4AbortionRights is unique in its assertion that not only are Republican leaders bent on eliminating women’s reproductive rights, but that “too many pro-choice leaders and Democratic Party politicians preach a “realism” of accepting the Court’s gutting of abortion rights…{and} If we leave this to Congress, the Courts, and State Legislatures and do not fill the streets with people determined to stop this, then there is virtually no hope for stopping this assault.”

Dear Reader,
For far too long, Indigenous communities have been spoken for, or spoken at, and it is past time to hear from them in their own words.
Indigenous women in particular face extraordinary challenges— underreported physical and sexual violence, and disproportionate economic, political, health, and cultural deprivations— all stemming from the ongoing impact of colonialism. But Indigenous women are also often in leadership roles in the fight for environmental concerns, cultural preservation, improving health and human services and respecting treaty and voting rights.
Today, we’d like to invite you to view Women’s eNews’ podcast, Indigenous Women Speak Out. This series, released on a bi-monthly basis, is a podcast meant to facilitate space for Indigenous women to educate listeners about issues that affect their lives.
But we can’t do it alone. Podcasts, like all journalism, cost money.
So we’re launching a fundraising campaign in order to support this project. By funding a minute of our podcast, you’ll help us add more episodes this coming year. Your donation will go directly to producing, editing, and paying our interviewers for their time.
Our goal is to raise enough funds to produce six additional podcast episodes in 2022.
Can you help us get there?
Support us now. Click on the link below to donate:

Strict abortion prohibitions do not stop women and girls from having abortions; they just force them to have unsafe abortions, putting their lives and health at risk.
Invest in Women
In the words of the late great Desmond Tutu, "Our Best Investment is Women!". That's why Women's eNews continues to provide a voice for women and girls who otherwise would not have one. As we enter our 22nd year of publishing, Women's eNews is still the only award-winning, non-profit news organization that provides coverage of the most crucial issues impacting women and girls all over the world, reaching across every continent!
I am therefore inviting you to make a year-end gift to Women's eNews, or to any of a myriad of non-profit organizations that are dedicated to supporting and elevating women and girls, Our work is tireless, courageous and resolute -- and never more important!
