Chicago Abortion Fund

Last month, the Iowa State Supreme Court upheld a 6-week abortion ban, which could go into effect as soon as next week. The Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF) is prepared to support those in need through our partnership with the Iowa Abortion Access Fund. If someone you know in Iowa needs an abortion, tell them to visit our website, where they can get connected with a case manager to provide them with individualized support: https://lnkd.in/gHTEKRcV. Together, we can ensure that everyone can access the abortion they want, need, and deserve. 💜

Join us on Thursday, June 20, at City Club of Chicago for a panel discussion on the state of abortion access in Illinois, how it has become an access point for abortion care nationwide, and how together with other abortion advocates and providers we are navigating this ongoing public health crisis. State Senator Lakesia Collins will moderate the panel featuring Sarah Garza Resnick (Personal PAC), Megan Jeyifo (Chicago Abortion Fund), Chelsea Souder (Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, IL), and Dr. Jonah Fleisher (UI Health). Doors will open at 11:30am and the program will begin at 12pm. Join us by registering today at the link below! https://lnkd.in/gK6kFh7K #ChicagoAbortionFund #AbortionAccess #TalkCityClub

This past weekend we got to celebrate 30 years of reproductive justice at Interfaith Voices for Reproductive Justice's gala in Washington, D.C. 💛 Thank you for having Qudsiyyah Shariyf and Christina K. Perez in attendance, where they were able to take part in honoring the Founding Mothers of the Reproductive Justice movement and be in a room filled with so many inspirational movement leaders and activists. We were especially grateful to run into Toni Bond who is not only a Founding Mother but also one of the founders of CAF. We appreciate you paving the way and allowing us to carry on this important work!
