Rural America is more than white, conservative, or Republican.
It also consists of Black folks who have power. Black rural voters have consistently voted for the Democratic Party at rates of 90% or more.
Why is their influence often invisible?

Everybody seems to be talking about abortion, but who's supporting the folks who need abortion care? @FullerProject talked with us, @abortionfundOH & @FLAccessNetwork, about why funding for abortion funds is plummeting. fullerproject.org/story/a-sl…

Vice President @KamalaHarris is running less as a female candidate than as a nominee who just happens to be a woman —and a woman of color, at that.

Lots about abortion spike post-Dobbs bc of telehealth.
Yes/and grassroots abortion funds flying, driving, funding folks out of ban states (not new, just more!), despite rage-giving tanking and/or going into elections. Important nuance from @jessica_m_wash bit.ly/3SPECyT
