In these chaotic times, many of you have asked what you can do to help. Your financial investment powers our work and your continued support is needed more than ever. We'd like to share some additional ideas on ways to be involved.
Team,
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will have devastating impacts on the lives of millions of people. Now more than ever we need to mobilize. If you believe abortion is essential, it’s time to take action.
Here are 7 things you can do right now for abortion rights:
- Donate to abortion funds. Abortion funds directly support people seeking abortion care—including financial and practical support like transportation, lodging, and language translation—and are a critical part of ensuring abortion access.
- Donate to independent abortion clinics at Keep Our Clinics. Small, community-based clinics provide the majority of abortion care in the U.S. and are more likely to be located in states that are hostile to abortion rights.
- Show up and protest. Events supporting abortion access are continuing across the U.S. Visit the We Won't Go Back map and find one near you.
- Speak up. Speak to your friends, family, business colleagues, professional associates and community leaders about why the right to abortion is so essential to a person's life and future. Activate your networks by creating your own message or sharing some sample #AbortionIsEssential posts.
- Learn more about abortion laws in your state. Click through the Center for Reproductive Rights' interactive "What if Roe Fell?" tool to learn about laws in every state.
- Find out where your lawmakers stand on abortion rights. Call or email your local, state, and federal legislators to find out where they stand on abortion rights and urge them to act now to protect abortion rights and access in law.
- Tell Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA). If passed, WHPA would protect abortion access from state-level abortion bans and restrictions, despite the Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe.

We must continue to act—today and every day—to work toward a future where every person has the right to access abortion.
Onward,
