Description

Suggested donation: $15-50 Our goal is to fill a room with people who are passionate about reproductive justice and raise money for abortion access (and maybe even learn something new along the way!). We have chosen 5 abortion funds to split the funds between (more info below). We will also be releasing our new zine, which is a collection of true stories of people’s experiences with seeking an abortion. Not sure if you can make it, but want to support abortion access? You can make a donation here! Presentations will cover topics like:★ Abortion pills: Where to find them, how they work, etc. ★ Pregnancy for trans men ★ Protecting your privacy when getting an abortion ★ Reproductive justice activism ★ The intersections of reproductive justice and race, class, prisons, art, etc. . . . and more! We can't wait to see you there. FAQs:Q: $$$? A: We are raising money for 5 abortion funds in areas of the US that have been most impacted by abortion restrictions.
