We're just a week away from the debut of our newest stage production, Abortion Is Healthcare: Provider Stories from Idaho's Front Lines, which highlights Idaho OB/GYN stories in the wake of Dobbs.

Friday Nov. 7 at 6pm
Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Tickets: www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...
A green-toned graphic of an OB/GYN. In text above and around her head are excerpts from Idaho's law banning abortion. Criminal penalties and non-medical terms like "preborn human individual" are direct quotes and stand out. Across the bottom are the sheet-covered raised knees of a patient; on her are thoughts a pregnant person might have about their pregnancy, health, home life, and safety.

We're thrilled to announce ONE BODY: DISPATCHES FROM IDAHO, a new documentary play by Jimmy Maize that intimately explores the real‑world repercussions wrought by abortion bans in deeply conservative states, through Idahoans' personal stories

BOISE! Pull up a seat with us on Tuesday, May 6 at the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship library, for Reproductive Writes, a writing workshop exploring stories of healthcare and choice.
Prompts and deep listening will help bring our stories out of the shadows docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
A collage-style graphic of women sitting in a circle writing and listening, in an off-primary color palette. Large script text reads, "Reproductive Writes" and in smaller text the event details read, "Every 1st Tuesday, 6-8pm / Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 6200 N Garrett St."

Dark green text on an abstract earth-tone background that's mostly mustard yellow-orange, reads, "All of this because the potentialities of the tiny dot on the ultrasound screen are more important than the actualities of your existence."

The easiest way to send your story is through our Story Submission form, but you can also email us or tag us in your posts.

One voice is small and quiet on its own, but together we're a loud and mighty chorus. Join us in defying silence.

Light neutral text on a dark green background reads, "All of this, not for my own well-being, but to make anti-choice legislators feel better about living a pro-choice reality. They did everything they could to stop me from exercising a constitutional right, while making me feel morally bankrupt about exercising that right so I wouldn’t do it again."

Collecting and sharing stories of reproductive choice is our mission—can you help?

We're accepting stories in any format:
Written anonymous
Written public
Video or documentary (we'll do the work!)
Social media post or story
Audio anonymous
Audio public
Any other format of your choosing
Dark green text on an off-white background reads, "Such was the needle I had to thread: take time off work, drive for hours, pay for gas and food and lodging, stay multiple days away from support networks, consult with multiple providers —then finally to look my embryo in the eye and say no, thank you. "

Do you have a story to tell?

Personal stories are the most powerful and effective way to change the stigma around abortion. Every reason for ending a pregnancy is valid—a testament to the fact that YOU know your life, your body and your circumstances best. YOUR story is important.
Text on an earth-tone background of an abstract landscape with a figure's silhouette reads, "My fiance and I had to travel out of state for the abortion. We drove for hours. We had to stay overnight to abide by the unnecessary state laws making abortion harder to obtain: mandatory waiting periods, counseling, and ultrasound viewing."

Sandpoint keeps showing up 😮‍💨
We had another packed house last night for Braver Angel's session on dialoging across ideological lines.

Cliff notes:
1. Don't try to persuade. Don't make assumptions.
2. Do LAPP – Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, Perspective.
Header text reads "skills for disagreeing better" in all caps, yellow monospace type. In the body, a white checkmark in a green circle icon is above the text, "Use LAPP" in large print. Then, "Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, Perspective" are centered below. Finally, across the bottom the footer reads "Braver Angels x [by] Rights & Resistance" in yellow monospace type.

People often say, "well, that's Idaho for you," and the Portland audience proved that Idaho being Idaho is not a sad inevitability. It's an injustice that we have to continue to fight with everything we've got.

Because there is a better way. It's visible just across state lines.

The audience's audible gasps during the stories brought that home. Living with our inhumane abortion bans now for two and a half years, it's easy to become accustomed to the suffering they cause.
Two women with their arms around each other, stand behind a folding table covered in an array of stickers and handouts. The table cloth has the Pro-Voice Project's logo, with the text "in defiance of silence" underneath. Behind the women are light blue yard signs that read "abortion is healthcare."

Thank you, Portland 🌹 A Tale of Two States was incredible. The performers, the stories, the audience reaction to the atrocities coming out of Idaho... it was all intensely moving. It was a good reminder that what's happening in Idaho is NOT NORMAL.
