Last month, Annemarie Dooling wrote about a novel kind of mutual aid healthcare among sex workers in Seattle: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/06/12/seattle-sex-worker-collectives-are-providing-health-care-to-their-community-and-a-model-for-the-country/
This week, Rainesford Stauffer explained why young workers are the least likely to have paid time off for big life events like having a baby or recovering from illness, and examined the lack of paid leave can affect their careers (spoiler alert: not well!): https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/06/30/young-workers-least-likely-to-have-parental-leave-sick-days-report/
Cam Oakes is now our newest staff editor at RNG. But she used to be a frequent freelancer, and back then she wrote this timely, useful explainer on mifepristone: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/05/23/mifepristone-misoprostol-and-abortion-medications-experts-explain-how-these-drugs-can-be-used-to-terminate-a-pregnancy/
