Everyone has a role to play in the fight to protect abortion access. We're seeing that in action right now in Texas.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Texas to block the new 6 week abortion ban. Planned Parenthood has joined the Center for Reproductive Rights, the ACLU, and other partners to fight against the ban in court.

And the local abortion funds in Texas are doing truly extraordinary and heroic work to help patients who can't afford an abortion — paying medical bills, arranging transportation and child care, and doing whatever it takes to help a patient overcome the barriers put in front of them by centuries of systemic racism and discrimination.

With many Texans now being forced to travel out of state to get the care they need, these funds are more important than ever. Will you make a gift directly to local Texas abortion funds?

We know S.B. 8 won't stop people from needing access to abortion. And people who have resources will still be able to get the care they need. What abortion funds do is ensure abortion access isn't reserved for a privileged few. They are especially critical for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, and folks with low incomes who never had equitable access and are now disproportionately harmed by abortion bans.

Planned Parenthood will keep fighting in the courts, in state houses, and in Congress to defend access to abortion for all. But right now, patients need help. Right now, people are cut off from abortion access. Right this moment, your donation to a local abortion fund can make all the difference for someone in Texas who needs care.

The work that abortion funds perform is personal, essential, and often overlooked. They are front-line organizations that have supported patients day-in and day-out for years. Since the moment this ban went into effect, they've been working around the clock.

You can help Texas abortion funds rise to meet this moment. Make your gift directly to Texas abortion funds now.

The fight to reverse this extreme ban and protect access to abortion for all Texans won't be easy, and it won't be quick. While that work continues, we must do everything we can to serve patients who are directly harmed by S.B. 8. Texas abortion funds are playing an absolutely crucial role — will you do your part to help make sure they can keep going?

Thank you for your commitment to patients, in Texas and beyond.
