HOUSTON: we have been working hard to distribute funds directly to houstonians affected by the freeze. while we have made unprecedented progress with our small team, we are currently distributing at a much slower rate than before due to the limitations/sanctions set by @CashApp

With gratitude and grace for everyone who wants to get involved and help people seeking abortions: PLEASE stop offering your home or spare room to strangers on the internet. There are lots of reasons not to AND lots of things you can do instead. 🧵

Know who definitely can’t travel for abortions? Pregnant people in prisons and jails. As we work to fight the impact of a decision that essentially amounts to judicial rape, I hope there are more abolitionist feminists today than yesterday. #abolitionnow

Abortion fund staff and volunteers could be at risk of arrest and involvement with the racist criminal justice system. As a Black, Indigenous and people of color led organization, we are holding the weight of this.

From the beginning, extremists have been targeting us. As we saw with SB8, there is an organized body of anti-abortion extremists that will use the pre-Roe abortion laws as part of a concerted campaign to intimidate and harass abortion funds in Texas. https://t.co/Weu73c1g32

Due to the uncertainty and risk of what the decision could bring, we are pausing funding today until we have had a chance to understand the decision once it is released.
