Hi john,

What better way to spend your time during the month of love than partnering with organizations you adore to build community and collect donations for fellow organizations in need? AAF and our friends at Pro-Choice Ohio, The Aggie Fund, and Toledo Abortion Center Escorts organized a Toledo Repro Health Happy Hour to do just that! It was a night of community learning and crafting as we invited folks to watch the incredible Plan C Movie, and then made bracelets and buttons and got our zen on decorating Liberal Jane coloring sheets. All proceeds from the evening went to benefit local reproductive health org, Solace Health and Wellness! Our best Galentine’s Day yet!

Graphic with four photos pasted together. Left: photo of bottles of wine on a white table, next to a pen and card asking for optional donations for Solace Health and Wellness, placed under a plastic tupperware with cash in it. Top right: photo of four people sitting around a table, making bracelets, with AAF stickers and golden uterus tattoos surrounding the bracelet beads, while two people ''dab''. Middle right: photo of several people around tables crafting, while the documentary 'Plan C' plays on a TV in the background. Bottom right: photo of table full of beads, button making supplies, and crayons while a set of hands cuts out Liberal Jane coloring sheets.

WHILE FOLKS STRUGGLE TO FEED AND CLOTHE THEIR FAMILIES, FAKE CLINICS RAKED IN OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING
What doesn’t give us all of the lovey dovey feels is learning that fake clinics made almost ONE AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS the year Roe fell! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING?! Thanks to the work of the Reproductive Health and Freedom Watch, we also know that number includes at least $344 million that came from YOUR TAX DOLLARS. The only options now are to find an abortion fund to donate to, or we will rage scream into oblivion! Maybe do both tho?

Meme of a student in a school uniform hold a giant tuba over another student's face while they stand with their back against a white wall. Over the tuba in black text with a white background, ''DID YOU KNOW FAKE CLINICS MADE $1.4 BILLION IN PROFIT THE YEAR ROE FELL?'' In black text with white background on the student covered by the tuba, ''EVERYONE'', with ''US'' written over student holding tuba.

MISSOURI: DEFINITELY AND TOTALLY NOT RIGGING THE GAME
Meanwhile, add Missouri to the list ‘states with potential ballot measures that conservatives are trying to undermine’. Missouri lawmakers have proposed moving away from a ‘simple majority’ approval for their amendment process to a ‘concurrent majority’ requiring approval in a majority of MO congressional districts. That’s no big deal if you love gerrymandering and think it’s totally cool that 20% of voters could defeat an amendment this way! Everything is just peachy keen over there.
