February 2025 Newsletter: Meeting the Moment

This newsletter highlights a new legal agreement that brings OBOS entirely to Suffolk University and reconnects OBOS activism with its educational mission through our website. As executive director Amy Agigian writes, "We certainly need both activism and education, as well as all the cross-movement solidarities we can find, in order to withstand the current political moment."

The issue highlights several resources we've added over the past month, in subjects areas from abortion to menopause, and topics from period poverty to social security. We take note of Heart Health Month.

We also share where we stand In light of rising government censorship and deletion of key federal databases and other federal webpages in recent weeks. Women and gender-expansive people need and deserve access to unbiased information. The free exchange of information is a human right, critical to our ability to live full and free lives, as well as to the promise of democracy.
