Hi John, in between celebrating our birthday (and Lizz’s!) we’ve been busy planning how to make sure y’all have manageable information on how to keep fighting for abortion access in this Post-Roe terror of a world. Here is our weekly round-up of where AAF is showing up and where YOU can show up as well.
