I’m joyous for the thousands of babies

 

Timor, It’s hard to put pen to paper to explain my thoughts about Friday’s historic Supreme Court ruling reversing Roe v. Wade. I’m joyous for the thousands of babies who will soon be spared the violence of abortion as well as for their mothers who will never know the pain of abortion regret. I’m nervous for the violence that those who support legal abortion have been promising to my friends in the pro-life movement and their 3,000+ pregnancy centers and maternity homes across America. I’m angry that my first daughter, Jessica, was lost to this violence…a “choice” that was forced upon my high-school girlfriend and celebrated in the streets this weekend. As I’ve written to you before, since I lost Jessica when I was just 17, I have pledged my life to seeing abortion end and the most vulnerable in our world served. And that is exactly what our teams at The Vulnerable People Project & Movie to Movement do each day. And what we will continue to do in in this Post-Roe world. After the success of our award-winning movies like Crescendo and documentary, Divided Hearts of America, featuring NFL-star Benjamin Watson…I have just launched a $200,000 campaign to fund our our next movie, Hills Like White Elephants. The goal of this film to move the hearts of millions of Americans who still conflicted about abortion. Using Ernest Hemingway’s beautiful words, we will will show the world that abortion is never a “choice” to be celebrated. So, what do you say? Are you with me? Let’s move forward now to make abortion unthinkable for my daughter, Jessica, and the 53 million preborn children we have lost since 1973. Please chip in right away with a tax-deductible gift. For my Jessica, Jason Jones Founder, Movie to Movement & The Vulnerable People Project Producer, Divided Hearts of America Host, The Jason Jones Show P.S. - Our past award-winning films like Divided Hearts of America & Crescendo prove that our team at Movie to Movement knows how to make beautiful films that challenge the abortion narrative in America to change hearts and minds. Take a look at our successful, past movie projects and then chip in right away to help us get filming underway for the Hills Like White Elephants film!

celebration of the universe, Torah study

 

Dear Tumothy, Join Rabbi Michael Lerner, Cat Zavis, and Ami Goodman at our Zoom-based celebration of the universe, Torah study, and Global Interdependence Day celebration on Saturday, July 2nd. On this interdependence day, after we celebrate the universe and study Torah, we will grieve and mourn the actual history of America–a history filled with oppression, violence, genocide, and endless wars. The recent decisions of the Supreme Court dismantling and undermining rights that U.S. citizens have enjoyed for almost half a century or more have led many to despair. To help us overcome that despair, we will also uplift movements and struggles for liberation that too have been a part of our history and celebrate the inherent goodness of most people in the world. We wish to transform July 4th from a nationalist celebration and focus into a universal one that celebrates the interdependence of all life, nations, and the planet.

Glendale third-grade teacher showed gay pride videos

 

Glendale third-grade teacher showed gay pride videos. A year later, furious debate erupts

A Glendale third-grade teacher, who nearly a year ago showed videos celebrating gay pride to her students, has been involuntarily transferred from her classroom for safety reasons after receiving threats. The conflict in the Glendale Unified School District is part of a broader national debate over what should be taught in schools about gender identity. In California, the law does not require advance notice or allow an opt-out provision for gender identity lessons.
