Make Abortion SAFER (saferinitiative.org)  With everything going on in the world, please consider helping The Trevor Project if you can. They are currently looking for a trained remote Crisis Support Counselor. Consider supporting the ACLU as well. The attack on the Trans community will end up in court rooms around the country. Supporting the ACLU in any way helps give voice to the voiceless. Consider supporting The Brigid Alliance. Attacks on abortion are at an all time high. The Brigid Alliance helps people arrange funds and support for people looking to have an abortion. As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.
