This Giving Tuesday, we're asking you to donate to local abortion funds that are in desperate need of support ahead of a second Trump presidency.
We recommend donating to ARC-Southeast, which serves Florida and other southern states. The group was founded by three Black clinic workers in Atlanta.

One of the things that was so striking to me about Ady Barkan's public appearances is that he always spoke and wrote about how being a good dad was both the motivation behind and inextricably linked to his activism. They're not separate things. They can't be.

Free idea for folks in the wedding industry (photographers, calligraphers, planners, etc.): remind your recent clients to update their voter registration if they’ve changed their name. National Voter Registration Day is today and it’s a good opportunity to reach out. Let me know if you need help!
