In 2020 I made the film America’s War on Abortion. During filming I met Alex, raped by two men. Overturning Roe vs Wade means Alex would have been forced to give birth against her will. In solidarity with US women, I have made the film available for free https://t.co/Nsys0ru7f9

Hope is Power!!!! Against this politics of fear and resentment, I am thrilled to see the election of @ZohranKMamdani as Mayor of New York. We’ve needed a politics rooted in hope and solidarity—and now, at last, we are starting to see it. 🙌🏼
