On the heels of the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the Abortion Bridge Collaborative (ABC) Fund was created to ensure that abortion care would endure for as many people, in as many places across the country, as possible.

And we are funding big! Our Grantmaking Advisory Council is an incredible powerhouse of movement leaders, grassroots activists, academics, and practitioners representing all regions of the U.S. They have been moving money out the door as fast as possible – $3.275 million to 21 organizations in just 6 months – using an open, grantee-centered common proposal and a nationwide nomination network.

Join us on April 25th, along with Susan Yanow, Co-Founder of Women Help Women and the Spokesperson for SASS – Self-Managed Abortion; Safe & Supported, and Poonam Dreyfuss-Pai, Deputy Director of All-Options and a member of ABC Fund’s Grantmaking Advisory Council, to hear from experts at the forefront of the fight for reproductive freedom. They will brief us on:

Key takeaways from the Texas, Washington, and SCOTUS rulings and how the reproductive justice landscape is activating
What our Grantmaking Advisory Council and partners are tracking in the field right now
How to take action and fund together
