) as a community-based organizing tool for feminists fighting for equal rights and reproductive justice. Frustrated that up-to-date information regarding various anti-women state policies and legislation is not readily and easily available online, Imani (Angry Black Lady) sought to compile information about specific anti-choice, anti-women's health, and anti-reproductive rights legislative measures being advanced in various states. What started as a spreadsheet on Imani's blog, Angry Black Lady Chronicles, became the TeamU Wiki: a robust database which ultimately will contain every piece of anti-choice and anti-reproductive rights legislation at the state and federal level, as well as the legislators responsible for that legislation.TeamUWiki is also a community, allowing activists and supporters of women's rights to socialize and organize, forming the lasting bonds that make long-term activism efforts more effective. TeamUWiki is the next step in a grand tradition of women's rights activism, bringing the radical can-do spirit of the Suffragists, the Second Wave, and the Third Wave into the twenty-first century to carry on the fight for equal rights.
"What is TeamU? Glad you asked! This is the website where you can archive and find all the information you'd want to know about those nasty anti-woman bills that keep popping up like Whack-A-Moles all over the country. Check out our databases."
It's an incredible site that gives you state-by-state information on the status of bills, regulations and laws that are anti-woman, anti-contraception, anti-civil rights of women throughout the country.
