Abortion Rights are Under Attack: Support Abortion Funds
from rePROs Fight Back · host Jennie Wetter, Yamani Hernandez
Abortion funds are grassroots organizations that are locally rooted and predominately volunteer-powered. They aid in removing financial and logistical barriers that people face when trying to access abortion care, while simultaneously advocating against the political and cultural barriers that make their work necessary. Abortion funds pay for abortions, pay for and organize transportation to appointments, arrange childcare and housing, and some even provide emotional support through doula access. Yamani Hernandez, Executive Director of the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF), talks to us about the importance of abortion funds during a time where abortion access across the U.S. is facing a blatant attack.For more information, check out Boom!
