Hi john,

Friday is back, and Abortion Access Front is checking in from our favorite conference of the year, Netroots Nation!

We’re busy meeting the best folks, preaching about abortion to everyone, and gearing up for our big live stream of…

LAST CHANCE to SIGN UP and Join Us!!!!

This edition of Operation Save Abortion is hosted by your Feminist Buzzkills Lizz and Moji and is a robust conversation and interactive workshop done before a live audience! PLUS! They’ll be joined by badass members of our AAF creative team—Kristin Hady, Sherill Dingle, and Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi—to lay out the sneaky shit being done behind the scenes on local and federal levels to destroy access and to criminalize abortion care.

THIS COULD BE YOU WATCHING, LAUGHING, AND LEARNING!

YEP! 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. In 90 minutes, you’ll 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.

AGAIN, it’s tomorrow morning—so sign up below before it’s too late!

And now, some bummer theater, er, news... 

Flo and Behold: Meta Fucked Around With Our Repro Rights AND FOUND OUT! 
A federal jury in California ruled that Meta violated privacy laws by collecting sensitive reproductive health data from Flo users—without their consent. Not only does this practice violate the California Invasion of Privacy Act, it violates OUR standards of how to not be evil. In a time when pregnancy is being criminalized more than ever, this is a huge victory for holding big tech accountable for repro health data practices and we love to see it!

Pap Smear Campaign Closes All Planned Parenthoods In Louisiana
Something we hate to see: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shut down its only two remaining Louisiana clinics, located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, effective September 30th. This heartbreaking announcement for Louisiana residents is a direct result of losing access to federal funding like Medicaid—which, of course, was the whole damn point.

Did these clinics provide abortions? Nope. Never, in fact. Another fact: last year alone, Louisiana served over 10,000 patients, but anti-abortion assholes are ripping birth control access, STD screenings, cancer screenings, and other reproductive healthcare away from the folks who need it regardless!

Could You Help Us Out With a Few Bucks?
Now more than ever Abortion Access Front could use your support. If we made you smarter or helped you engage with fellow do-gooders, please consider dropping a few dollars in the coffers to help us keep the work going!

We’re taking heart from all of the incredible activists we’re meeting at Netroots—we’ll all get through this together!

Don’t lose hope, 
XO Team Abortion AF
