Every day since the Supreme Court took away the constitutional right to abortion, people ask me what they should do to help. And my answer never really changes much:
Do what you can, whatever you can, as soon as you can.
Today, I'm asking you to chip in what you can — even if that's $10 — and not to wait another second. Until midnight tonight, Giving Tuesday contributions up to a total of $100,000 will be matched.
For Planned Parenthood health center staff, nurses, and doctors, helping means showing up every day ready to provide the quality care that patients need and deserve, no matter what. For educators, it means being there to answer questions about how to have safe and enjoyable sex. For advocates, it means working to stop abortion bans and expand access to care.
Your matched gift today means
your gift of $10 or more will have twice the power to ensure patients have access to abortion and other reproductive health care. And your commitment and generosity have never been more important than they are right now.
As lawmakers have put in place abortion bans and restrictions, patients have been forced to travel hundreds of miles and endure so much hardship. And the people harmed the most are those who always face systemic barriers to getting the care they need — people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, people in rural communities, and those struggling to make ends meet. In the most heartbreaking, infuriating cases, their access to care has been delayed, or denied outright.
Every one of us has a role to play. Every one of us who values the essential right to make our own medical decisions without interference has a responsibility to take action.
Every one of us can help.
Right now, you have twice the power to fuel this movement — but this matching gift expires at midnight.
Don't wait: make your gift of $10 or more before it's too late.
Whatever you can do to protect and expand abortion access, it's worth doing. Whatever you can give to make sure patients can get the care they need, it's worth giving.
And the best time to make your contribution is right now.
Thank you for always finding a way to help.
