@ChloDubs I would say food delivery or house cleaning. If you do something like a spa gift card, make sure they have access to child care to take advantage of it!

[DC Abortion Fund @DCAbortionFund]

More than ever, people will need abortion funds. That work is only possible because of the generous contributions from supporters like you. Make a donation to support DC Abortion Fund. https://t.co/ajciz18KRW

[Sian Leach @sfleach]

@DCAbortionFund is here making sure abortion is accessible for everyone. If you have the means, please consider making a donation or becoming a monthly donor! https://t.co/hCbGOvo5ST

The DC Abortion Fund has received nearly 64k in donations between news breaking of the draft SCOTUS opinion Monday night and last night, they tell me. That’s almost double what they’d raised by noon yesterday. That’s enough to fund hundreds of abortions.

[Tina Vasquez @TheTinaVasquez]

Please, please stop with the tweets about coat hangers and sepsis. Abortion pills exist! They’re super safe! @ifwhenhow even has a Repro Legal Helpline where people can get free legal information about self-managed abortion: https://t.co/1hJvfMWPta

[NNAF Abortion Funds @AbortionFunds]

UPDATE: The @AbortionFunds site is still down but you can give to directly to more than 80 abortion funds NOW via this link:

Now is a great time to make a donation (or set up a monthly donation) to your local abortion fund! @DCAbortionFund and @VermontAccess are two funds that I have volunteered with. Donate to them or find your local fund through @AbortionFunds!

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

I wish y’all would talk about community care as much as y’all talk about self-care. Bring the idea and term community care into our imaginations.

Ive been volunteering with @DCAbortionFund since 2019. DCAF is currently looking for new volunteer case managers. This is a great way to get involved and work directly with folks seeking financial assistance to access abortion care in the DC area! ⬇️

[DC Abortion Fund @DCAbortionFund]

🧵 Interested in getting involved with @DCAbortionFund ? 

We are looking for new case managers to join our community! Case managers work directly with folks seeking financial assistance in order to access their abortions.

I shouldn't have to feel lucky that I have a partner who is able to take parental leave when we welcome our first child later this month. Parental leave benefits everyone.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

I managed to miss most of the horrible Paternity Leave Discourse because, well, I'm on paternity leave until January.

But: Parental leave should be universal, and it should be universally taken. And not just so men can be helpmates to their wives, who're doing the Real Work.

Thread from @nwlc about the bigger picture of what's going on with women and the job market ⬇️

[National Women's Law Center @nwlc]

According to this month's #JobsReport, women gained 57.3% of jobs added to the economy (304,000 of the 531,000 total jobs added) last month while men gained 227,000.

While this may look like an improvement, as usual there's more to the story for women here.

[Sian Leach @sfleach]

@Caro130 I got vaxxed right at the beginning of my pregnancy, and signed up to be part of a study related to pregnancy and the vaccine. The reports of how covid affects pregnant people are terrifying.

[Sian Leach @sfleach]

This story just keeps on giving.

The new plan for catching the remaining zebras involves even more zebras.

The impact of the Delta variant:

After months of adding jobs, the industries that have helped women return to the labor force — hospitality, retail and education — suddenly took a dip or remained flat.

@ScullyBully @selene_colburn One place to start is supporting local abortion funds, like @VermontAccess

[Whole Woman’s Health Alliance @WWHAlliance]

Reminder that Texas is not in need of “underground” abortion networks. We have abortion funds and infrastructure in place to help Texans and they’re not underground. Please amplify the work Texans have already been doing. You can donate to our fund here: https://t.co/Pk4JoOKR5a

[Lilith Fund @lilithfund]

Our message to everyone who may need an abortion in Texas is this: Abortion funds are here to affirm that no matter what barriers you are facing, you have the right to access abortion and we will keep fighting for you. https://t.co/cxofiCIOHV

I just ran into one of the security guards in my building. I asked if she was evacuating. She said: “On my salary, either I can evacuate. Or I can pay my rent on the first. I can’t do both.” I wish more people understood that not everyone has the privilege to evacuate. #Ida
