Solidarity with Black feminists + collectives

 

Cori Bush


Right-wing extremists overturned Roe as I hosted HHS Secretary Becerra for an abortion round table at the same St. Louis clinic where I received my abortion at 18 years old. I felt lonely and scared back then. I do not feel alone or scared now.

We won’t stop until abortion care is legal everywhere. And we will do everything in our power to get people that care in the meantime, even if they live in a state like mine where racist, classist, sexist, ableist Republicans made abortion care illegal in Missouri just minutes after the Supreme Court overturned decades of established legal precedent.

I am so encouraged to see the outpouring of love and financial support for abortion providers. But today I want to specifically lift up the Black feminist leaders and collectives fighting for reproductive justice in our communities.

Will you join me in supporting 13 key Black feminist groups that are leading the fight for reproductive justice? Make a donation here and 100% of it will go directly to these groups.

Black women and pregnant people will be disproportionately harmed by this ruling. It’s an added burden that will exacerbate the deep health disparities that our community faces.

The racists on the Supreme Court are well aware of that. Samuel Alito wasn’t shy about it, writing in a disgusting footnote that it is “beyond dispute” that abortion care access has a “highly disproportionate” impact in the Black community.

So as we mobilize in our response to this disastrous Supreme Court decision, we must center the Black organizers and collectives leading the way in the reproductive justice movement. Please, if you can, add a donation today to support 13 of these organizations on the front lines.

Solidarity is how we get through this.
