Abortion Funds: Donate/Volunteer/Hosts/Drivers. Links.

By State. An alphabetical list of Abortion Funds in each state that has one. You can donate to help women get the healthcare they need.



By Region, nationwide, and Indigenous. Also by State.

Donate.

Call them.

Volunteer to be drivers and hosts. Drivers can travel the entire distance or switch off with other drivers. Hosts open up their homes to women who are traveling for healthcare, sometimes with their kids.


This isn't the first (or second, third, fourth, etc.) time I've posted this type of information. Fortunately, Esquire and GQ have made a fuller list of resources to share.

There are already networks within America to help women get needed healthcare. Have been for years.

Be a part of the solution.

Yes, voting for pro-choice (pro-LGBTQ rights, pro-civil rights, etc.) candidates is a must. But there are additional things people can do to help.

Help prevent a woman's death - Donate. Volunteer.

I do.


Thank you,

Solly Mack

Women who are going through this can be very fragile.

So there is a screening process for anyone who wants to work with the women. If this is really what you want to do, don't let the screening process discourage you.

Just remember, it's about human beings, not politics. It's not theory. It's reality.

And if allowed, people will come in contact with women who come from all sorts of situations, to include conservatives/evangelicals.

Can't judge. Can't snark. Can't attack.

You're there to help.

Or don't bother.

allow that you have rights, the marginalized have to band together to take care of business.

Yes, you advocate for change.

Yes, you vote. (When you are allowed to - voter suppression tactics are making that harder)

But you also network to take care of each other.

Course, a lot of people just expect government to do the right thing. Or they feel protected because what is happening doesn't directly impact them - but that's a lie. If you are in a group that isn't male, straight, the right skin hue, and the right religion and politics - the authoritarians will come for you and your rights.

They think they are protected even knowing the history of the struggle for rights in America.

The arc might bend toward justice - eventually - but people's lives are on the line now.

Eventually ain't good enough. Never has been. Never will be.

This includes voting rights, being able to exist while black or brown, the rights of women, the rights of LGBT people, the rights of First Peoples, and everyone who has been marginalized by the white, primarily male and Christian oppressors.

You don't march and protest and mobilize just for your rights.

You do it for all the marginalized.
