After some thought, DCAF has decided to step away from posting on this platform. ✨Journalists✨-- we are still on IG & TikTok @dcabortionfund & will be starting up on blue sky in 2025. We love you all ❣️
and now the only thing to do is to entangle ourselves so deeply in community to keep each other safe.
this is the part where we do it (all of it, resourcing, caregiving, protecting) for each other.
Abortion funds need us. If you’re in the DC area, @DCAbortionFund is your local abortion fund. Please consider supporting their vital work. Abortion forever ❤️
👉 Election night is just one moment.
👉 Abortion is timeless.
👉 Abortions have always existed & always will! No matter who holds office, we are rooted firmly in our belief that abortion is a human right worth fighting for. Today, tomorrow, & always.
why we keep saying Roe is the floor not the ceiling: even with widespread support for abortion, if there no infrastructure for actual access, clinics will close and funds will scramble to get people their abortions. great read as always from @SusanRinkunas!
Cuts in patient grants from national reproductive rights groups has created a crisis for all-trimester clinics, the providers who care for people whose abortions are delayed by state bans or who face fetal anomalies.
They’ve been losing tens of thousands of dollars every week since July

NEW: Multiple safety-net abortion clinics are weeks away from shuttering, with one telling me it could close by the end of the year. Even if Harris wins, more people could be denied abortions in short order.
“Roevember” won’t save these clinics

Abortion laws with gestational limits and other restrictions are based on the idea that we need policing to keep "the wrong people" from "misusing" abortion services. That is some patriarchal bullshit. The path to true health and safety requires decriminalizing abortion.
SAY IT LOUDER!!! ✨ALSO ✨ stay tuned for some later abortion care content from DCAF coming soon bc we need to talk about these patients outside of just the click/trauma/rage baiting context 📣
&& as important as it is to make a voting plan or keep up with the news cycle, it is just as (maybe more??) important to find your people & lean into community right now ❣️ xoxo DCAF
