Pamela, Millions of Texans are relying on mutual aid to survive freezing temperatures, failed power grid, and government negligence. Texans will also need help funding abortion care. Many had to delay their abortion care this week, while centers closed because of the winter storm. There will be a surge of folks seeking abortion care in the next few weeks who won't be able to afford it—and waiting out the storm will make it more expensive. We're raising money for 4 groups in Texas who help pay for abortion care, so people who need care in the next few weeks can afford it. 100% of your donation will go directly to these groups. When abortion care is delayed, whether by a national disaster or a disasterous law, care only gets more expensive. The laws in Texas make abortion care nearly impossible to find and afford before this storm, but now it's just pushed even further out of reach. And because everything's bigger in Texas, we're fundraising for abortion funds that each serve a different region: The Lilith Fund, the Frontera Fund, the West Fund, and the TEA Fund. This is a critical time for families, who are living without power, heat, water, and housing for days. For some needing an abortion in Texas right now, means it's one crisis on top of another. If we can help Texans pay for their delayed abortion care, then they can focus on taking care of themselves, their homes, and their families. Can you chip in $5 to support people seeking abortion care in Texas in the next few weeks after the storm? This is a resource that is desperately needed, but might not be the first thing people think about when they want to help. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately, split evenly between the Lilith Fund, the Frontera Fund, the West Fund, and the Tea Fund: The same government in Texas that has deliberately neglected the power grid, is the same that prioritizes discriminating against trans kids, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, and abortion care, over trying to take care of the people in their state. With your help, Pamela, we can be there for folks seeking abortion care who are so often thrown under the bus by their state leaders. In solidarity, Mike Phelan Progress America |
