TheChange

Our fundamental freedoms are at stake.

Abortion bans are an attack on all of us. Each of us, including Black, Brown, AAPI, Indigenous, and other people of color, should have the freedom to control our own bodies, lives, and futures. Nearly half of states have all but banned abortion, following decades of insurmountable restrictions that denied people care even when abortion was legal. Abortion bans push women and families deeper into poverty and especially hurt those working to make ends meet, young people, and people of color.

Abortion justice means ensuring care for everyone, without barriers based on identity, location, or income. Together, we can protect our hard-won rights and ensure no one else faces criminalization for seeking control over their own body and accessing the healthcare they deserve.
