DID YOU MISS US?? Abortion AF took a much appreciated break to rest and recharge, but we’re officially back on our bullshit and ready to spill the abortion tea with as many fucking expletives as our bosses will allow (spoiler alert: as many as we damn well please).

Before we get back to our regularly scheduled abortion hellscape round-up, we wanted to get back to the basics: SUPPORTING CLINICS! You signed up to volunteer with AAF because we’re hilarious you wanted to make a tangible difference, and those opportunities are evergreen regardless of the news cycle; clinics are always in need, abortion seekers always need support, and funds are always running low. Save this email and bookmark these links so that we can continually meet the needs as they arise! Which is literally all the time.

| PUT THE ‘FUN’ IN ‘ABORTION FUND’!
Abortion isn’t accessible if patients literally can’t get to their appointments, but this badass army of abortion funds and practical support orgs is on the ground and working their asses off to get abortion seekers where they need to be…BUT THEY NEED MONEY TO DO IT! Luckily, Abortion Access Front has put together this handy resource, Fundraise for Abortion Funds Toolkit! Maybe you gave last year, maybe you supported in other ways- but funds need you now more than ever, and we’ve made it hella easy for you to raise money and give back.

| SEND SOME LOVE OUT IN THE ABORTION WORLD
Communities take care of each other, and you can’t go wrong when that care comes in the form of a gift package going directly to abortion patients, or Thank Bank cards to uplift all of the providers out there doing the good work! You can help send patients some love and support with items like heating pads, pain reliever, menstrual pads, snacks, notes of encouragement, etc. Find our guide here on how to gather your friends and put together your own patient care packages!

WHO’S MY GYNOTICIAN AGAIN?
If our elected officials stopped trying to legislate our healthcare rights, we wouldn’t have to do any of this to begin with, yet here we are. Of course, if they’re going to act like doctors, we’re going to treat them like doctors with our Send in the Gowns action! In-person or virtually, we’ve given you all the tools to question their medical credentials and hold their faux speculums to the fire- sign up here to access the Send in the Gowns toolkit!

WHEN WILL THE LYING END?
Anti-abortion forces in states like Alabama, Idaho, and Texas are trying to find ways to prosecute people for traveling to another state for their abortions. How do we know, you ask? FAKE CLINICS! If someone has accidentally visited a fake clinic when trying to find actual abortion services, that fake clinic is not only storing their information but SHARING it with fake clinics in other states, thanks to software provided by national affiliates like Heartbeat International and Care Net. CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT? This could potentially aid prosecutors in proving someone was once pregnant and has since had an abortion. Fake clinics may present themselves as the gentle and caring arm of the anti-abortion movement, but they exist to harass, scam, and actively harm abortion patients however they can- like maybe not telling their “clients” that their information is not private and not covered by HIPAA?? Join the Expose Fake Clinics Virtual Action Hour to warn our community, expose fake clinics, and fight for their defunding TONIGHT from 6 PM to 7 PM ET- registration link here!
There are so many ways to fight back against abortion misinformation that we know everyone can find at least one action that will be a perfect fit. Learn how to advocate in different ways in your own community with our Expose Fake Clinics toolkit.
Psst- Before you go, could you maybe do us a teeny, tiny favor? We’d LOVE to be able to send you emails with actions, events, and information in your immediate area, but we have to actually know where you live to do that! If you haven’t yet, please take just a minute to fill out this form and update your info so that we can keep your activism LOCAL!
