Protecting abortion access in Minnesota.
With last night's confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, we are just one major step closer to further decimation of our right to abortion and bodily autonomy.
As one of the oldest abortion funds in the nation, we know that for too many Roe v. Wade is a right in name only. Even in Minnesota lawmakers have enacted hurdle after hurdle to put abortion out of reach for those who can least afford it - poor women, women of color, teens, and undocumented folks. And yet, our state has some of the strongest protections in the region, making Minnesota an incomplete but necessary bastion for access in our region.
And now, we need your help.
Abortion funds bridge the gap between the laws and court decisions, and people's need for care DAILY. As the right to abortion hangs on the edge, we need your support to ensure that every Minnesotan or person traveling to Minnesota has the resources, money, and support to get the care they need.
There is no better reason or time to give.
Then, join us Wednesday, October 28th (tomorrow) at 5:30pm for Happy Hour. We'll be eating tacos, drinking beer, and talking about our work funding abortions. Meet some of our amazing volunteers, staff, and board, and learn about the work we are doing to expand access to care through direct service and mutual aid, as well as through community advocacy and our lawsuit, Doe v. Minnesota.
These are unprecedented times and that's why we are leaning on you - our community - to join in and support our work. Whether you give today, invite a friend to learn about Our Justice, or reach out to volunteer - this moment calls for us to come together and prepare for the long haul.
In solidarity,
Everyone at Our Justice
