Highlights
A year ago tomorrow, Roe v Wade was overturned in the US, and Americans lost their constitutional right to a safe and legal abortion. As a result, reproductive healthcare has suffered across the board.
The last thing a polarized country with a broken healthcare system needs is to politicize our most personal, and sometimes most painful choices. One thing everyone should be able to agree on though: better education about reproductive health has got to be a good thing. A big part of that is unfiltered self-observation. We must be able to track our experience, and leverage that history as data that will serve us, and that we are not afraid will ever be used against us. This is what we stand for at Clue.
On a subject that provokes so much anger, sadness and fear, Clue users have come to the rescue with some light relief. I was so happy when Amy Char, Heather Patterson, and Ashley Milhollin reached out to suggest they do a pro bono campaign with us. They wanted to highlight that it is possible for countries to create privacy rights, and for companies to stick their necks out on the subject. They wanted to be funny and subversive about it, and they’ve succeeded.
Thanks Clue Community! We are actually the majority, we just have to know it.
