On National Day of Abortion Storytelling, we celebrate every person who has shared their story and helped others feel seen. 💛

Good news from Wisconsin! After nearly a month-long pause, abortion care has resumed at all 3 Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin clinics. 🎊💜

This brings the total number of open clinics from 2 to 5. CAF will keep supporting Wisconsinites who need help covering the cost or travel to get care.

If you or someone you know needs support navigating abuse or intimate partner violence, contact the Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline by calling or texting 877-863-6338

When survivors can access abortion, they can also access safety, freedom, and power. 💜

Join us on Tuesday, Oct 14th for A Home Here: Post Abortion Community Circles. Registration is required. Sign up for our October circle at bit.ly/fallcircles25 💚✨

Through our Unapologetically Pro-Abortion series, CAF is sharing tools & learnings from our teach-in to help you become a bold, informed advocate in your community.

Because abortion care is community care. 💚

Reproductive Justice goes beyond “choice.”

It connects abortion & reproductive health to the social, political, and economic conditions that shape our ability to make decisions about our bodies, families, and futures.

What is Reproductive Justice? ✊🏽

It's a framework created in 1994 by a group of Black women in Chicago that centers three core rights:

✅ The right to have a child
✅ The right not to have a child
✅ The right to raise a child in a safe, healthy environment

As we mark 40 years of CAF, we uplift movement builders like Sekile, whose legacies live on in the policies they shaped, the students they mentored, and the community care they modeled.

This month’s CAF Activist Spotlight honors Dr. Sekile M. Nzinga—former CAF board member and current VP for DEI at @saicpics. Her leadership helped shape the cultural and policy foundations of our work.

Yesterday marked one year since Iowa’s 6 week #abortion ban was implemented. The number of people who are accessing abortion care has stayed nearly the same. But, the barriers they are facing have skyrocketed 🫂
