Hi john,

We are officially on the other side of one full year without Roe; how are YOU feeling? We here at AAF are mad, we’re sad, we’re numbing our rage with retail abortion therapy (have y’all seen this dope new self-managed abortion mug that you and all of your closest friends need)...but most of all, we are caffeinated and hyped the fuck up to go forth and spread the good word of abortion far and wide! Ready to join us? 

TIME IS A FICKLE BITCH
We’ve gotta tell y’all- it can be really damn bleak when you look at what has happened in the last year. When you have over a dozen states with zero abortion access and several more with restrictions or pending restrictions, it’s an absolute miracle that we haven’t mass rioted (WHY HAVEN’T WE???!!!) and/or shunned all societal expectations and run off to live in the woods as part of some sort of feral feminist collective. Now- if you have a few hundred acres somewhere warm and access to a large reserve of margaritas and snacks, hit us up.

WE ALL STAN!
We will not be deterred. We will not be defeated. Why? Because we are surrounded every day with the compassion, love, and perseverance of abortion providers- both who are able to continue providing care and those who were forced to stop in this abortion hellscape. Today, we just gotta lift up AAF friend and absolute queen Alabama OBGYN Dr. Yashica Robinson out here serving her patients, meeting them where they’re at, and treating them like, ya know, actual people deserving of autonomy and quality healthcare in a state that makes it nearly impossible! THANK YOU DR. R!! 

If you’re as inspired by Dr. Yashica and her whole damn team as we are, check out our Activist Calendar, click Alabama, and help her out!

Highlights Of Some Dope Events This Week

WE CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE
Anniversaries are a time for reflection (and sobbing into your wine glass), and we can’t think of a better way to reflect than listening to the frontline folks ensuring that anyone who needs an abortion can access it! Forward Midwifery will be moderating the virtual panel, One Year Since Dobbs, to talk about where we stand one year since the overturn of Roe v Wade on Wednesday, June 28th, at 5 PM ET- registration link here!
 
HEY ATLANTA, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!
Bodily autonomy and our right to live in safe and sustainable communities does not stop with abortion, and we’re stoked to hear from ARC-Southeast and Decolonial Feminist Collective on how #StopCopCity and #DefendtheAtlantaForest ties into all of it! Join them on Thursday, June 29th from 12 PM to 2 PM ET- registration link here!

SPEAKING OF ATLANTA…
…WE’RE HEADING THERE NEXT MONTH! Abortion Access Front and our squad of badass friends, volunteers, and partners will be spending the week countering Operation Save America’s circle jerk of hate and we could use your support! While we’re supporting indie clinics, amplifying the amazing local pro-abortion and Reproductive Justice coalition, and just generally annoying the fuck out of OSA, we’d be super grateful if y’all had some extra funds to help get our volunteers setup and ready to go directly from our Amazon Wishlist. You always need more cowbell, amirite?

With (cow)bells on,

Team Abortion AF
