Each January, we are asked to remember Roe v. Wade not only as a Supreme Court decision, but as a hard-won recognition of women’s sovereignty over their own bodies — a recognition rooted in decades of organizing, risk, and sacrifice by those who refused to accept control by the state, by churches, or by economic elites.

Today, that promise has been systematically dismantled.

 Across the country, we are witnessing coordinated attacks on bodily autonomy, reproductive freedom, access to health care, and the very idea that people — not corporations, politicians, or courts — should have the final say over their own lives. These attacks do not happen in isolation. They are fueled by big-money political systems that elevate corporate interests and ideological power over human rights and community well-being.

At Move to Amend, we understand that struggles for reproductive justice, racial justice, environmental justice, worker rights, and real democracy are deeply connected. They all ask the same fundamental question:

Who decides — the people, or concentrated wealth and power?

But we also know that living in this constant state of political crisis takes a real toll. Many of us feel overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, or discouraged — even as we remain committed to justice.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a new 6-part learning and support series:

 The Way Through: Building Resilient, Sustainable Activists

 A 6-part series from Move to Amend’s Movement Education Program (MEP)

This series creates space to meet overwhelm, anger, and despair with compassion — and to transform them into grounded, collective action for a healthier, safer world.

Each session focuses on one section of The Way Through, the newest module from our Movement Education Program, offering practical tools to help sustain ourselves — and our movements — for the long haul. 

Because movements don’t survive on strategy alone — they survive on cultures of care.

Together, we’ll explore:

How to process political grief and anger without burning out

How to build community that can hold both struggle and hope

How to stay engaged when victories feel distant and backlash feels constant

How care, reflection, and collective healing strengthen — not weaken — our organizing

Honoring Roe’s legacy means more than remembering what was lost. It means strengthening the people who are still fighting — for bodily autonomy, for democracy, and for a society that values human rights over corporate rights.

 We hope you’ll join us in building not only powerful movements, but sustainable ones.

In solidarity and care,
