We are in the midst of an abortion access crisis.
All over the country, states have banned or severely restricted abortion, and the states where it’s still legal are seeing a huge influx of out-of-state patients. Because of all this extra need, clinics and abortion funds are struggling to keep up with demand. Clinic staff and volunteers are overwhelmed and overworked. Abortion funds are running out of their monthly funds in a matter of days. All of this is having a real, immediate impact on the people across the country, but especially in North Carolina.
The good news is, there are lots of ways you can help. This week, we’ll be going over some of the key steps you can take to lighten the load for people seeking and providing abortions in North Carolina.
Abortion care has always been community-based and community-supported. We need each other more than ever.
