A longtime writer and progressive thought leader, Pamela’s personal blog was named one of the world's 50 most powerful blogs by the Guardian. Her political and social justice commentary has been published in the Guardian, Rolling Stone, and Rewire News Group.

I support OBOS because everyone seeking health information deserves trusted and vetted resources. OBOS was, is, and will continue to be a revolutionary asset for reproductive justice.
