Thank Bank

Sending gratitude where it counts.

Abortion providers across the country face daily hostility and harassment. While policy fights make headlines, the people doing the work often feel unseen. Thank Bank flips the script.

We mobilize supporters to send postcards of appreciation and solidarity directly to clinics and providers. Not tweets. Not likes. Real messages. Real paper. Real impact.

Show up for indie abortion providers

If Planned Parenthood is like the Trader Joe’s of reproductive health care, independent clinics are your neighborhood food co-op.

Independent abortion clinics provide nearly 70% of abortion care in the United States, yet they’re often left out of the conversation. We love our indie bookstores and coffee shops. It’s time to support our indie abortion providers, too.

That’s where Thank Bank comes in.

At least four times a year, Abortion Access Front mobilizes supporters to send postcards of appreciation and solidarity to independent abortion providers (and lots of Planned Parenthoods) across the country.

These clinics receive hate mail and face protesters every single day. They bear the brunt of hostile legislation and relentless political attacks. While the headlines focus on court cases and elections, providers are the ones holding the line.

Let’s show them some love.

How to participate

It’s simple.

  • Send postcards (not letters in envelopes)
  • Postcard stamps are cheaper and easier
  • Design your own or grab something cute at a store
  • Use the Abortion Care Network or National Abortion Federation directories to find clinics to send them to
  • Mail your cards directly to providers

We organize coordinated sends throughout the year, but you can write and send postcards anytime.

Throw a postcard party

Make it a thing.

Invite friends over. Put out snacks. Write cards together. Turn solidarity into something tangible.

Snap photos while you write and share them using #ThankBank. Tag @AbortionFront so we can repost and spread the love.

Just make sure not to show provider addresses in your photos.

Need inspiration?

Messages can be short and sweet. Personal or general. Just heartfelt.

“Thank you for the work you do every day to support women! You rock!”

Beverly in St. Louis

“You are heroes! Thank you for the caring and quality services that you provide.”

Jesse, AAF volunteer

“Without services like yours, I would [your story…] THANK YOU! In solidarity.”

Sarah in San Diego

There’s no perfect script. Just speak from the heart.
