> I believe that personal health is also a political issue, as Our Bodies Ourselves has long highlighted. OBOS carries forward this essential mission, offering reliable information on mental, reproductive, and overall health for women, femmes, and nonbinary individuals. I’m proud to contribute to this work, which is more crucial now than ever.
