Send us Fan MailHere’s this week’s letter:Watching the news lately has felt like watching the Handmaid’s Tale. I have to admit I wasn’t paying attention to the gradual erosion of how secure I thought the right to abortion was in the US. It felt like I woke up one day and all of my group chats were talking about the leaked document from the Supreme Court. I had no idea there was a real threat to Roe v Wade. I live in the DMV so I was able to travel to the Supreme Court to protest. I vote in all elections, not just presidential cycles. But I want to put my money in too. I wish I could buy enough Plan B to hand out in the streets. Or offer to pay for women’s abortions. Something. Any thoughts on this? Should I donate to Planned Parenthood or is there a way to give more locally?Links from today's episode:https://dcabortionfund.org/https://www.msreprofreedomfund.org/https://www.theafiyacenter.org/programshttps://www.iwrising.org/https://www.thecut.com/article/donate-abortion-fund-roe-v-wade-how-to-help.htmlhttps://www.blackwomenradicals.com/blog-feed/honoring-a-reproductive-justice-pioneer-an-interview-with-loretta-j-ross Support the show
