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. 💜

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!

As Florida's near-total abortion ban took effect a few weeks ago, we were honored to partner with the Chicago Abortion Fund to shed light on the impact of such bans across the entire region. Read more about their perspective on NPR. https://lnkd.in/edMdHV9C
