Big ups to Austin, TX lawmakers for #GettingMeThrough this week! As of Tuesday, the city of Austin will pass along $150,000 worth of funds to go towards non-profits that provide logistical support services for folks seeking abortions. These include childcare, lodging, and transportation.
This is an effort to push back against a new Texas statewide law that bans local governments from giving money to groups that provide abortions, which went into effect last month.
Here's to hoping other lawmakers follow Austin's example of creative problem solving to help vulnerable populations in their communities!
