  • Jenny F. (she/they)

    BILINGUAL CARLA SUPPORT COORDINATOR

    "Funding abortion transcends beyond the monetary act of give and exchange; it is a lifeline, an alternative for someone who may feel tethered to one reality. Abortion has, and will always be, about the possibility of choice. We are deserving of choice, anything less is a violation and direct attack on our free will, our personal autonomy. When we fund abortion we are refusing to mislabel it as shame, and instead, reclaiming for what it is: healthcare."

  • Neve (she/her)

    SUPPORT COORDINATOR

    "Abortion is critical to our liberation, and nobody should have to navigate unnecessary barriers and stigma while seeking abortion care. It's a privilege to be able to show up for our callers, help them navigate the process, and wrap them in the love, support, and care that they deserve."

Whether it's someone seeking care in the Midwest, in the South, or Global South, we all deserve compassionate and accessible abortion care."
