2024 is memorable not just for the political landscape but for significant shifts across the nation.

In case you missed it, states have made major strides on various issues this year—especially regarding health and rights.

Let’s explore some progress that often goes unnoticed!

The Bright Side

Health progress includes new constitutional protections for abortion rights in multiple states, while overdose deaths decrease for the first time since 2021! Plus, the FDA approved innovative medical solutions.

These changes are crucial as they redefine healthcare access.

In education, fewer kids face violence, and more schools offer free meals! Massachusetts leads the way with tuition-free community college, making education more accessible and boosting enrollment.

Together, these initiatives signal a shift towards inclusivity in education.

Labor improvements are also noteworthy! Almost all US corporations now offer maternity and paternity leave, while the minimum wage increases across many states help lift families.

Plus, innovations in manufacturing boost good job opportunities!

Lastly, environmental and rights strides show promise.

Vermont pushes for 100% renewable energy by 2035, while Kentucky bans conversion therapy.

Every little step counts in making a difference! Let's keep the momentum going—what progress have you noticed?
