Y'all know I wasn't going to forget about @AbortionFunds! During natural disasters like this, people have to reschedule appointments and remake travel arrangements. Accessing abortion care is already damn near impossible across the South and Midwest, so please uplift these funds!
. @lilithfund covers central and south Texas. Their hotline being closed means that many people can't get the money needed to access abortion care. Please help them fill in the gap when they reopen: https://www.lilithfund.org/donate https://twitter.com/lilithfund/status/1361500659053387777?s=20
. @TEAFund serves north and parts of central Texas, as well as parts of southern Oklahoma and northern Louisiana. Crossing state lines to access abortion care is a daily occurrence and makes abortion more expensive. Please help: https://secure.everyaction.com/ztEh8Qeh80-k2k1Yuo5gTw2 https://twitter.com/TEAFund/status/1361699906445008899?s=20
. @westfundtx is based in El Paso, TX and serves folks seeking abortion care in West Texas and in New Mexico. https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/contribute-to-abortion-access

. @FundTexasChoice is a logistical support fund that helps pay for state wide travel to and from appointments to abortion clinics. https://fundtexaschoice.org/index.php/donate/

In Texas, if you’re a minor, you have to get your parents/guardians consent to have an abortion. If they don’t consent, you have to go before a judg. @JanesDueProcess helps minors all over the state access their legal right to safe abortion care. https://janesdueprocess.org/donate/
