April Social Action Collection: Blue Ridge Abortion Fund

 

Stephanie Nash, Director of Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, at UUCville Sunday Service

Funding abortion is community care. Blue Ridge Abortion Fund (BRAF) has been providing financial support to people needing abortions for almost 34 years and we are still here providing financial and logistical (transportation, lodging, etc.) support to Virginians and those traveling to Virginia for an abortion.  “We” means all of us – donors, board, staff and callers. Because of the consistent and growing support of donors we are able to provide $20,000 each week in abortion funding at a time of crisis for abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.  This is what it looks like to care for each other.
