“We’re fed up with the interference in our personal healthcare decisions by politicians who know nothing about our lives,” notes Amelia Bauer, co-founder and executive director of NOISE FOR NOW. “When faced with this kind of oppression, it is more important than ever to come together in our communities to equip ourselves with resources, stand in joyful defiance, and affirm that WE SAVE US.”

“As we all seek ways to help, and also survive this political moment, here are three things we can do: Give money to abortion funds helping people access care, spread critical information on how to have an abortion no matter where someone lives or how much money they make, and find JOY in community,” adds Lorenne Gavish, Creative Media Manager of Abortion On  Our Own Terms.
