Please Note

For safety reasons and COVID-19 precautions we have suspended the volunteer driver program and are opting to place clients traveling for abortion care in hotels. We are asking that folks direct their support to either funding our practical support program or participate in our other volunteer opportunities. We will let you know if that changes.

Messaging Guidance

NO   |   Coat hangers and “back alley abortions”: We don’t need to reference imagery from the past when abortion was unsafe. Thanks to advancements in medical science and the internet, we have abortion pills (that are super safe and can be mailed!). Coat hanger images and “back alley abortions” imply that there are no longer safe abortion options and perpetuates abortion stigma.

NO   |   The Handmaid’s Tale: This comparison centers fictional, rich, white folks and ignores the reality that many BIPOC communities have long been living in a world where their reproductive health decisions and outcomes have been wrongfully controlled, restricted and criminalized.

NO   |   Sharia Law: These barriers to abortion access are created by white supremacist, Christian fundamentalists; therefore, these comparisons are inaccurate, racist, and anti-Muslim.

NO   |   Underground railroad: Underground railroad is not an appropriate term to use in relationship to this work. It’s culturally appropriative and disrespectful to the legacy of escape from chattel slavery. Abortion funds and practical support organizations already exist to help people navigate getting abortion care.

NO   |   Slavery: we shouldn’t even have to tell you or anyone not to do this.
