Get your partner's vasectomy scheduled. Why's it always on us?

This needs to be mentioned: organize. Find a local political group and get involved ASAP, anything from local politics, to grassroots campaigns, to volunteering for abortion funds. 


I say this because since 2015 I have been seeing people advocate for personal safety measures that will pale in comparison to deep systemic issues. I am *not* saying that personal safety guidelines are useless. They're very very useful. But they can only keep you safe for a short amount of time. Your own personal IUD  (which I have; I'm on my second) will not keep you safe if they pass laws against not just abortion but contraception and you need it removed, need it changed, or if it fails and you need an abortion.


Yes, get your passports, get your vaccines, get your birth control, use period tracking methods that cannot be tracked or petitioned by the US (I use the app clue), have emergency savings so that finances do not prevent you from seeking safety, but do not forget that you need to be part of systemic change above all else. .

Sterilization if you don't plan on having kids. With childbirth related deaths continuing to climb the gamble just isn't worth it.

Consider long term birth control (IUD, implant). Get all your vaccinations now. If your passport is expiring, make sure you renew it QUICKLY. Track your period on a trusted app or old-school calendar style. Eat clean, exercise, and take care of yourself. Prioritize your health.

We have no clue what's going to happen, but if history is correct, this is going to take a lot longer than 4 years to undo.
