This summer the United States Supreme Court is set to make a decision that has the potential to overturn Roe v Wade, the landmark ruling that went into effect 50 years ago protecting the rights of women to an abortion without government interference. 

Beyond the threat to abortion rights, the overturning of Roe v Wade has serious implications and potential consequences for other feminist causes, including birth control, gay marriage, transgender rights, and the safety and security of LGBTQ and feminist activists. 

These are rights that we aim to protect through our rapid response grantmaking at UAF, in the US and worldwide. This pending decision has the potential to make our work more urgent and necessary than ever before.

That’s why the time to act is now. Today, you can join us in helping abortion funds build the infrastructure necessary and prepare for the worst.

Find out how to help abortion funds today and prepare for a tough fight ahead.
