Welcome to the final installment of Abortion Funding Unlocked, our three-part series diving deep into what it takes to keep abortion access alive and thriving. We’ve spent the last few months breaking down the impact of policies, the importance of local support, and the urgent need for community-driven funding in times of political chaos. Today, as we close out this series, we’re focusing on one of the most crucial parts of our work: rallying our community to tap into every available resource for the long road ahead.

It’s October of a Presidential election year, and one thing we can safely say is that DC is awash in “the discourse.” For many of us, this is the first election in our lifetime where candidates everywhere are finally having to answer questions about their abortion policies. Despite what you might be hearing, voting is only one tactic in the movement to expand and protect abortion access, but it’s one that has real consequences. So let’s take a minute to deep dive into the season with 🔐Abortion Funding Unlocked: Election Edition.

Welcome to our Funding Unlocked Series.

You may have caught wind of big changes happening in the abortion funding landscape. We’re here to give you the inside scoop about systemic barriers we face, deep dives into the impact of the Dobbs decision, the spike in out-of-state patients, the financial and logistical challenges we navigate daily — and how we can move through the hard parts together.

This series is about unlocking new conversations, solutions, and funding sources. It starts with a transparent look at the current landscape of abortion funding in DC and beyond.
