As COVID cases rise in 26 states, millions remain unemployed, kids and families are still in cages, and Black people of all ages FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES, the Orwellian sounding "Pro Life Action League" is organizing an anti-abortion messaging blitz THIS FRIDAY (TOMORROW) in neighborhoods all across America. AAF WANTS YOU to counter it it with postive messages about abortion. JOIN US TOMORROW, it’s simple! Make up your own lawn sign, hang it in your window or stand on a bridge or overpass with YOUR message of support for abortion rights, abortion providers, or access to abortion. Snap a photo and post it on social media using the hashtag #AbortionIsEssential or #DefundThePoliceNOTAbortion. Let’s show them that we are the majority and bury their anti-abortion bridge trolls with messages of support! Abortion is essential. Period. And AAF is more committed than ever to countering and exposing the dangerous and historically racist agenda of the anti abortion movement. Seriously, their disgusting history of co-opting language from the #BlackLivesMatter movement is shameful. If they cared at all about Black mothers and the lives of their children, they’d be in the streets marching like they have been asked. |

Hope you can join us Friday and make your voice heard, either with a sign on your lawn, in your window, or taking it to an overpass. Wherever you can publicly stand loud and proud on Friday, you will be standing in solidarity with AAF, other abortion rights advocates and the Reproductive Justice movement in fighting back against these anti-abortion monsters who continue to use white supremacy to further their oppression. You can’t fight for abortion access without fighting for racial justice! We work towards creating a world free from injustice and oppression. Yamani Hernandez, Executive Director of the National Network of Abortion Funds describes it beautifully—a world where "we all have the autonomy to make our reproductive and parenting decisions in safe, healthy, thriving communities – free from laws that criminalize our abortions, public budgets that starve us of the resources we deserve, and yes, free from police, prisons, and all forms of state violence." AAF is committed to working toward that world. And a good start would be to defund the police, and NOT abortion! Get that shit on a sign and shout it from a bridge! xxoo Lizz and the Abortion AF team |
