Action
We hosted a wheatpasting event for the Abortion On Our Own Terms campaign week of action to get the message out about self-managed abortion with pills.
What is wheatpasting? Wheatpasting is “a direct action method that uses a straightforward visual medium to reach a big audience with messages. It is made by combining water, flour, and sugar” to temporarily glue messages to various surfaces. [1] Check out our action below!
Watch a recording of our latest Act and Learn webinar, “Grassroots Organizing for Self-Managed Abortion,” when it drops here. Our next Act and Learn webinar, “They Want To Ban Travel for Abortion-Seekers,” will take place on Wednesday, November 29 at 2 pm ET. Watch out for an email with sign-up info.
We are currently in the midst of our "Integrating Teaching, Research, and Activism" webinar series! You can watch recordings and register for the last panel discussion here.
