“…investments designed by impacted communities are the most effective because they know best the impact disparities in health care have on their lives and can create solutions that will best address their needs.” Read our critical piece about funding equitable abortion access!!!
“It’s up to states with strong [abortion] protections in place to be responsive and scale up access to services that people deserve.” @SeahdomEdmo (@seedingjustice) calls on #philanthropy to lead in funding health care rooted in justice and equity. https://t.co/XpD6MvV9Nx

"In Indian Country, identity is intimately connected to nationhood and sovereignty as well as personhood ― the sense of where one comes from and who one is." Read @SeahdomEdmo in the Huffington Post!
The Indian Child Welfare Act pushes for Native children to be adopted by Native families. With its constitutionality challenged, tribal sovereignty hangs in the balance. https://t.co/U2JaUOYTDM
Another BIG opportunity: The most impactful thing that leaders in pro-abortion states can do right now is INVEST. Put your money where your values are. Oregon leaders just allocated $15 million to create the Reproductive Health Equity Fund. https://t.co/Lp7gLaILHA
ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN OREGON. With the Reproductive Health Equity Fund, we're boldly protecting and expanding equitable access across the state's health care infrastructure. Learn more + donate: https://t.co/VFrYDIzUWd

.@seedingjustice is also accepting donations to add to the $15 million the state allocated. A steering committee will decide this summer how to spend the money to ensure people have access to abortions.
Oregon is immediately giving $1 million to @nwaafund, a group that pays for travel and other costs related to abortion. The state had previously agreed to spend $15 million on abortion access but had not named the recipients yet. @seedingjustice is dispersing the money

So proud of this coalition effort with @seedingjustice partners. The trusted relationships among abortion funds, clinics, rights groups, and reproductive justice orgs that led to this win, were built over years, in community. This type of power building can only happen locally.
