We're in a period of the year with many closely-held traditions and holiday spirit in abundance. We're taking the word abundance with us into 2026. While we'll be taking the lessons learned in 2025, we're letting go of the stress and disappointment of the year.

Maybe you're a procrastinator and still looking for a last minute gift? We've got some ideas :) Shop radically and small if at all this season with some local friends of the fund!

GIVE TO CAF: We are an abortion fund that has spent the last fourteen years supporting North and South Carolinians throughout their journey seeking abortion access: gender affirming, lifesaving and essential reproductive healthcare, ancestral practice and a basic human right

We're ending this week in solidarity with our neighborhoods, but we needed to schedule time to share what is serving as guiding light for us in these times. S. 323 was defeated in committee because Senators could not bear to vote against the will of their constituents.

Reproductive Justice means Queer and Gender Justice stays to the front. Most importantly, use the rest of this week to celebrate our siblings who are still alive and with us. Leave your roses, throw your magnolias, and especially your dollars to the dolls at the altar and here earthside with us.

It’s been confirmed that ICE is in Raleigh as of today, after harassing teenagers and civilians of Charlotte on Monday. Doula to clinic defender, gentle parent to family centered cesarean advocate: ICE is arresting children and ripping parents from their cars, homes, and jobs right in front of us.

As we are wrapping up 40 Days for CAF, we noticed that the number of protestors this year just 7 more than we counted last year. It seems that not much has changed, but we can keep the torches of hope burning as we see folks that support abortion access rising in power.

As we are wrapping up 40 Days for CAF, we noticed that the number of protestors this year is around the same as last year. This year we saw 596 anti-abortion protestors and last year we counted 589.

Alright y'all, you can do hard things.: HAPPY VOTING DAY TO ALL WHO WILL CELEBRATE! That's 91 counties in North Carolina. 449 local races in South Carolina. and a whole lotta people power coming down south.

Harassment has NO place in healthcare. Full stop. So far, we've seen 596 forced-birth bullies outside of two NC clinics since September 24th. We need them to know that if they feel the need yell at folks seeking care, they'll be funding abortion while doing so.

We're puttin' on a CAF Faire with the help of Raleigh Brewing! Join us at on Sunday Nov 2nd at noon for slow flow yoga, lead by Erin of Whole Mama Yoga. There will also be a vendor market with MANY local vendors. You can get some early holiday shopping done while supporting a good cause!

Antis simply creep us OUT. 41 protestors braved the cold and rain to try to upend abortion access. This brings our count to at least 554 anti-abortion protestors who have come out to interfere with healthcare access since September 24th.

It's truly scary how many anti-abortion protestors have shown up to stop people from accessing abortion (and basic health care). In the past 3 weeks, we've counted 513 (!!!) anti-abortion harassers at 2 clinics in NC alone.

We're throwing our first CAF Faire for Joy and Access! We'll be at @raleighbrewing.bsky.social (in Raleigh) on November 2nd from noon to 6pm. Stop by to support local businesses and get your holiday shopping done early! There will also be a yoga session at noon, a raffle, and beer pong tournament!

Happy Birthday, to us! CAF is 14 years young today. Donate $15 or more to our 40 Days for CAF campaign and you'll be entered to win a prize. We'll draw 5 winners and announce them on Friday next week! (link in bio)

47 anti-abortion protestors made their way out to Planned Parenthood in Chapel Hill last week! That means that around 116 antis have come out to harass people who are accessing healthcare at just 2 clinics since September 24th.

We're heading finishing the second week of 40 Days for CAF. For the next 4 weeks, we'll count the anti-abortion protestors outside of clinics in North and South Carolina. Each protester who shows up to harass patients will add to the running total we're raising to help fund abortion services.

We can sigh a breath of relief, but the work continues. Still mad about having your rights challenged into eradication? You can contact your legislators here: p2a.co/4f1aqmg We will be sighing in community this weekend at Columbia Pride! Come get some freebies, signs and merch at our table!

Committee deciding to have time to add amendments before voting out of subcommittee . Not leaving committee at this time!

Once again listening to physicians from out of state asking for a ban.

As we said, South Carolinians do NOT want this bill. These old laws have old friends, and they don't even go here!

Testimony is at recess for now. Head over to our tables and get some freebies! If you're watching from home or work, make sure you have your favorite comfort piece, get your water and snacks!

If you're not from South Carolina, this is what our senators are like.

They're calling terrorizing people on the way to their appointment at a CPC being a "sidewalk counselor" now, btw.

"I'm mostly against groveling for healthcare" said the testifier before addressing the senators directly with a full chest. PROTECT HER. 📢

There was endless testimony about God but we finally got one for calling abortion seekers practitioners of Satanic Rituals. +1 to the testimony: Theocracy has no place in policy!

Of course, the folks bringing the bibles to the statehouse are encouraged by the bill, meanwhile the South Carolinians opposing the bill so far are emphasizing that SB 323 will leave women, children and the state of South Carolina in shambles.

We're here in SC and we're keeping you posted on everything happening SB 323!

JOIN US THIS MORNING AT 9:30AM! We don’t fall in line, we hold it until our hands go numb and then we hold tighter. What we need is abortion access, not abortion criminalization. We need clinics and providers who are trusted to do their job without fear of prosecution or intimidation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIFE! 📢🥳🎂 Mifepristone was approved by the FDA more than two decades ago based on its medical safety and effectiveness, and is a common option for ending early pregnancies. Mife's safety is documented in more than 100 peer-reviewed articles,.

For the past eight years, we at Carolina Abortion Fund have run 40 Days for CAF, an opportunity to show up for abortion access and also spotlight and counter the harm that anti-abortion harassers cause to clinics and patients. Protestors are an unfortunate reality for many clinics. (link in bio)

Black August may be coming to an end, but supporting Black community members is a year round practice for us around here. In honor of this, we're spotlighting a few Black-owned businesses and Black artists in the Carolinas. We know and will continue to shout that we keep us safe.

We'll be at Transfer Co. Ballroom in Raleigh on Saturday Sept 6 from 12-5pm for the second edition of Sipsman's Record Fair at Hopscotch!

CAF is gearing up for an eventful fall! We’re looking for a few vendors as part of an event on November 2nd in Raleigh. The event will take place from noon to 6pm and the vendor market runs from 2pm-6pm. Please fill out the application form in our bio to be considered!

Good trouble, fighting the good fight, all the good good good reasons we are here do not erase the pervasive culture of white supremacy nor its impact on our movements. Black August should be spent uplifting Black businesses, Black authors and causes while shifting power through who we support ($$)

We are BACK with another announcement: We are seeking Reproductive Justice advocates who are pro-abortion, pro-choice, pro-autonomy and pro-everywhere to join our community of volunteers, supporters, and advocates to turn the tide in abortion access. There's a part to play for everyone!

"Your choices, your actions, that's what makes you who you are." In light of the new Superman movie out, we'd like to take a minute to share some love with our heroes-- our donors and supporters!

Welp. No better time than now to join the fight. In addition to cost, many of our callers also face obstacles in finding safe, reliable transportation and a compassionate support person to accompany them through their care.

SB 20 anniversary, SC SCOTUS Decision, and now this? This grief, may it be fuel as we join you in calling our legislators *now*. We wrote this before the decision came down, and so we must amend to say Congress is no longer merely considering this bill, but instead it has been passed by US Senate.

Pride weekend, pride season, and a forever practice of fighting for a future to an unpoliced full suite of options that we have endless access to.

Parents deserve their flowers, and so we're returning to our favorite safe haven of the state, HEL'S, along with our friends with the Forsyth County Bail Fund to make sure our community members know they will never be disappeared.

What does it mean to serve Cowboy Cartier, anyway? 👢 We're looking for the flyest cowthey in the courtyard and we're hoping to crown you, so here's our cheat codes! Being an outlaw looks different over the years; the average abortion cowboy probably has four eyes and three drinks on their desk.
