Need a quick guide on who to support, where to volunteer, who do donate to and more while you wait for book to come out? This is a cheat sheet that has been up on my Patreon page since Kennedy announced his retirement.

You want to save abortion? Here’s where to start now:

1) Contact a local or national abortion fund. Give a donation once now, or, even better, become a monthly donor.

National

State by state list

2) Get involved with your state NARAL affiliate (state list here)

3) Support an escort group

One good way to support escorts in general, or if you do not know your own local group, is to contact and support Clinic Vest Project.

4) Find a local reproductive justice organization to work with. RJ orgs are often WOC lead and work with local communities in an intersectional way that makes them the best frontline for helping people access care.

These vetted independent providers put a patient’s experience first, and will ensure their safety and comfort. Many accept direct assistance to help more patients. You can also donate directly to their organization, the Abortion Care Network.

11) Support medical groups trying to keep providers trained.

12) Support Plan B availability – but do it RESPONSIBLY

Don’t buy out a store – people need it on shelves for a true emergency. Here are better options:

Buy online. You aren’t in a hurry. Wait it out. Online places can restock, but pharmacies take longer. Don’t take all of the packages, when someone with a real emergency might find an empty shelf.

Don’t get more than you reasonably need – it expires in 3-4 years. And remember that there is a weight limit to its efficiency. Be sure to be prepared to follow up if it doesn’t work.

CALL or visit all of your pharmacies in person. Make sure they are aware that you are checking to see if it is in stock. If not, ask who to talk to. If it is, thank them and ask who to contact to thank the company.

Find your local repro rights or repro justice group (see above links). Ask if they are doing work to deliver EC. If so, give them the funds to purchase and/or offer to help deliver for them and expand their reach.

Groups that do Plan B delivery:

Linda D Foundation (Alabama)

Plan B NOLA (New Orleans area)

IndyFeminists (Indiana)

Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund
