Reproductive Justice analyzes power systems, looks at white supremacy and systemic racism, addresses intersecting oppressions, and centers the most marginalized. As Audre Lorde said, “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives." But that also means that the people doing this work have these intersecting lives while they deal with trauma, emotional toll, exhaustion, and much more because they show up every day to support others. In order to ensure workers are being taken care of, disrupting the status quo by building caring work spaces is of utmost importance. Join us, alongside our partners Texas Equal Access Fund and Avow, on April 30th from 12- 1 pm at this virtual panel for Texas Woman's University School of Social Work in how to create caring work spaces.

Check with your human resources team today and help twice as many Texans travel to their out-of-state appointments! Now more than ever, Texans must rely on their own communities for support when accessing out-of-state abortions.

Fund Texas Choice is disgusted by the continued anti-abortion attacks in Texas, where we have been living under an abortion ban for two years. The cruel masterminds behind SB 8 have been helping local governments pass local laws that allow any person to sue someone they suspect of helping an abortion seeker that drives through the city or county for an out-of-state abortion. These ordinances are likely unconstitutional – they are a cruel and malicious tactic intended to instill fear among abortion seekers and those who support them, to confuse people about what care is available to them, and to empower people to stalk, harass, and sue abortion seekers and their supporters. Anna Rupani, Executive Director of Fund Texas Choice, said: “As the first practical support organization in the state, we are acutely aware of how far and wide Texans have to travel to access their abortion. Texas lawmakers’ insistence on policing individuals’ reproductive healthcare by banning the use of roads assumes that Texans are not deserving or able to make their own decisions  over their bodies. The people who draft and pitch these ‘use of road abortion bans’ to local governments want to instill fear, cause confusion, and increase surveillance among Texans; this is a vile attempt to prevent people from seeking legal abortion care out of state.”

Jonathan Mitchell, the anti-abortion extremist behind SB 8, is exploiting the legal system and abusing the discovery process to harass and intimidate abortion and practical support fund clients, staff, donors, and stakeholders. But we are fighting back! “This desire to obtain private, confidential information is meant to harass and intimidate, but rest assured, we will not stand for it.” --Anna Rupani, executive director of Fund Texas Choice. https://lnkd.in/ghuSFb5R

“Local abortion assistance funds fill a critical gap in the reproductive healthcare safety net created by federal and state restrictions on insurance coverage and clinical care for abortion.” We have ALWAYS known that abortion and practical support funds are the backbone for abortion seekers. But NOW there is a study by the Texas Policy Evaluation Project, which our Executive Director Anna Rupani joined in on, that shows exactly that! This study highlights the importance of abortion and practical support funds to abortion seekers in Texas. As abortion has become inaccessible in Texas, organizations that provide practical support and abortion funding have seen an increase in requests for financial and emotional support. While we love caring for and supporting our community, EVERY Texan deserves accessible, affordable access to abortion care. Click the link to read more: https://lnkd.in/g7bEDdZH
