I'm so excited for and proud of the fledgling Caravan Fund and the aid it's already providing. We're doing good work, and you can help! (alt. offer for local pals, ping me if you want to make a date to hang out on my porch or ka-fair and fold zines for the ABS. lotsa ways to help, not just cash.)

We launched our Caravan Fund program in mid-April with a goal to cover gaps in abortion costs & other pregnancy-related + parenting needs. We are thrilled to be filling requests from health care seekers THANKS to your support ❤️💜🚗💜❤️ Set up a monthly donation today: givebutter.com/theautonomou...

May’s Repro Happy Hour is at Brillobox Pittsburgh! Our monthly happy hours are social events where community members who are interested in abortion access, pregnancy justice, harm reduction, and mutual aid can connect with other organizers in Pittsburgh doing this work!

Decades of gold-standard scientific evidence have overwhelmingly demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of medication abortion. Anti-abortion attacks on access to medication abortion are about politics and ideology, not health.

Today, the Supreme Court decided to allow mifepristone to remain available through the mail or from a pharmacy while a lawsuit (Louisiana v FDA) against the abortion medication plays out. We won today, but abortion funds are prepared for tomorrow! Read our full statement here: nnaf.org/12

Tonight we made 50 postpartum recovery kits! They contain pads, underwear, nipple cream, soothing body wipes, hot and cold packs, diapers, protein bars, vitamins, affirmation cards, and more! You can support our distribution of pregnancy supplies by donating: givebutter.com/theautonomou...

URGENT REQUEST! Traveling abortion seeker needs $200 for an upcoming appointment in Ohio. NAF covered 50% and Caravan Fund has the budget to donate $150, leaving a $200 balance. Can you contribute to the cost? V: Crystal-Zilla $Clozilla Donate to me for tracking, I’ll post receipt when done.

ask us how to get abortion pills by mail, there are many ways 💜

BREAKING: Danco Laboratories, maker of Mifeprex, goes to the Supreme Court, seeking an immediate stay of the Fifth Circuit's Friday mifepristone ruling. Under the Fifth Circuit ruling, FDA's rule that allowed mailing of the medication abortion drug is to be blocked. More to come: www.lawdork.com

It’s that time again! More supplies means more kit assembly for distro. Won’t you join us? 👯💜🚗

Again, this is NOT an end to telehealth abortion so long as providers switch to misoprostol-only abortion as planned. I will note that most of that planning was done when legal attacks on mifepristone began under Biden, however. The second Trump presidency may have changed the calculus for some

We want to remind everyone that mifepristone is safe. Mifepristone has been used safely by more than five million people in the U.S., with a safety record better than common drugs like Tylenol or Viagra.

🧵 Today, a federal appeals court ruled that abortion seekers can only get mifepristone in person at a health center, in another attack on abortion access that has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

NEW: The far right is trying to restrict telemedicine abortion by claiming pills enable abusers. In reality, abortion access is a lifeline for victims. But workers at the nation's largest abortion support hotline—a key part of that lifeline—say bosses won't commit to not replacing them with AI.
