Indivisibles,

This year, a record-breaking ten states had abortion initiatives on the ballot and on Election Day, and seven of these states voted to protect or expand access to reproductive care. We’re incredibly proud of the work Indivisibles did to help get these initiatives passed across the country.

But we didn’t win in every state, and there is one loss that’s been especially devastating: Florida. On May 1, MAGA Republicans’ new six-week ban took effect -- one of the most restrictive in the country. Prior to the new ban, Florida was home to dozens of clinics and had one of the highest increases in out-of-state patients since the fall of Roe.

Because the state legislature was gerrymandered by Republicans, Florida’s best hope for overturning the ban was through a constitutional amendment. Ultimately, 57% of voters chose to back the amendment. But that wasn’t enough to get it passed in Florida, which requires a 60% threshold. 

To be clear, this fight isn't over. Indivisible will continue to defend reproductive freedom in Florida and across the country. But we also know this election loss has left thousands of people in desperate need of care right now. That’s why we want to focus your attention on the groups working on the ground to save lives and get people the care they need. And this Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to support that work directly by donating to Access Reproductive Care-Southeast.

ARC-Southeast is a reproductive justice organization serving Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The group was founded by three Black clinic workers in Atlanta who made it their mission to eliminate the barriers to accessing abortions that they saw firsthand as healthcare workers.

Now, with Florida keeping its six-week ban in place, ARC-Southeast’s mission is more important than ever. Your donations will help them provide financial and logistical support to ensure people receive safe and compassionate care and help continue their education and community outreach work to end the stigma around reproductive care.

Abortion Funds like ARC-Southeast count on small-dollar donations to continue providing access to reproductive care, so please click here and support their work today.

If you live in a state with a total or partial ban and need access to care or want to donate locally, you can click here to find abortion funds in your area.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
