Everyone deserves the right to receive medically accurate information about their pregnancy so they can make informed decisions about their health. Throughout the DMV, fake clinics work to dissuade pregnant people from seeking abortions by spreading misinformation. Our rigorous independent research has found more than 2,600 of these fake clinics in the United States, and many receive state and federal funding. Often, these fake clinics go unchecked as they promote anti-abortion ideology in our communities.
It's on us to demand accountability and expose fake clinics in our community. We plan on protesting outside of fake clinics and flyering with information about where people can access abortion care and medically accurate information from legitimate resources.
Join us at our D.C. action and a special after-action dessert! Make sure to sign up for logistics information.
