Hi john,
At Abortion AF, we always try to meet the moment so check out these two important Abortion AF activations that will hep YOU meet the moment as well!
FIRST! SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF ROE PODISODE DROPS TODAY
Today, June 24th, marks three years since the Dobbs Decision [[link removed]] , and your Buzzkills are diving into what has happened to abortion access with THE BIG BRAINS. It’s big Buzzkill energy as Lizz welcomes the incomparable constitutional genius Dr. Michele Goodwin to talk about the rise of pregnancy criminalization and what legal challenges are ahead.

On the left, large yellow and blue outlined text reads: “TRUMP’S ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL’ FUCK YOU PASSES HOUSE.” On the right, a hand is shown prominently giving the middle finger. In the lower right corner, there's a small logo that says “TEN YEARS” with the initials “AAF” and the years “2013–2023.” [[link removed]]
Also sharing her reflections is abortion provider extraordinaire, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health [[link removed]] , Amy Hagstrom Miller. Since the fall of Roe (and before) Amy has sued Texas, Indiana, and the federal government, all while providing abortion care in states like Maryland, Virginia and Minnesota. Amy also recounts the terror she and her Minnesota staff experienced when the anti-abortion terrorist Vance Boelter was on the loose.This truly is an eye-opening episode that everyone should listen to.
SECOND! WE ARE ANNOUNCING A BRAND NEW OPERATION SAVE ABORTION TRAINING!
That’s right! Operation Save Abortion [[link removed]] —LIVE from Netroots Nation [[link removed]] , the country’s biggest progressive gathering of rabble-rousers, activists, and movement-builders.
A memorial-style graphic featuring a young Black woman with long straight hair, subtle makeup, and a gentle expression. Her name, “Adriana Smith,” appears in bold white capital letters on the left side. The background is a purple gradient, and Adriana is surrounded by soft-toned floral illustrations in lavender, blue, and pink. On the right, white text reads: “She deserved a choice. She deserved a voice. Her name is a call to action.” In the lower right corner is the Abortion Access Front logo with the words “TEN YEARS AF.” [[link removed]]
Right now, providers and patients need heart-to-heart advocacy that involves community support and publicly defending them in these times of intimidation, violence and criminalizing abortion care.
This edition of Operation Save Abortion is a robust conversation and interactive workshop done before a live audience. It’s a shot of energy, clarity, and ACTION, brought to you from Abortion Access Front’s Feminist Buzzkills — Lizz Winstead and Moji Alawode-El. PLUS! Badass members of our creative team—Kristin Hady, Sherill Dingle, and Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi— lay out the sneaky shit being done behind the scenes on local and federal levels to destroy access and to criminalize abortion care.
But this isn’t just talk! Operation Save Abortion will take you through the steps to learn EXACTLY how to execute a few different actions, answer your questions in real time along the way, and share toolkits so you can get cracking after the event.
Together we will:
Assemble Patient Care Packages
* Learn why care packages matter for abortion seekers and how they provide critical comfort and support.
* Get a detailed guide on what to include—from practical items to emotional support.
* Find out how to get them into the hands of patients through clinics and abortion funds.
Assemble Patient Care Packages
* Understand the power of creative actions to call out lawmakers pushing abortion bans.
* Watch a real-life example in action—our "Paging Dr. Lawmaker" protest action.
* Follow a step-by-step training to design and pull off your own version.
Expose Fake Clinics
* Get the lowdown on fake clinics: what they are, how they operate, and the harm they cause.
* Take a guided tour of their websites to learn how to spot red flags.
* Learn tactics to call them out and keep abortion seekers from falling into their trap.
In 90 minutes, you will walk away with three tangible, fulfilling ways to jump into the fight without burning out or reinventing the wheel. Whether you’re fired up, freaked out, or frozen in place—this session is your place to land, learn, and launch.
