Wanna protect abortion access but don't know how?

Abortion Access Front brought together some of the most impactful leaders in the abortion movement from across the abortion access landscape to have a series of conversations, and created accessible videos and toolkits to guide you in your journey and help you find where you can have the most impact for abortion access.
 

Learn more about what's actually helpful to your local abortion clinic, how to support abortion patients, and even make concrete policy change on a state and local level! Love getting loud, creative, and maybe even disruptive? We do that, too, and we'll tell you all about it.

Abortion Access Front’s ongoing Operation Save Abortion series is available to view below and on our Youtube channel. Get your friends together to watch the sessions and plan how YOU will make a difference for abortion access in YOUR community using our Activity and House Party Guide in English and Spanish! Then check out our Activist Toolkits  for resources from across the movement to help you immediately get to work!

 ABORTION AF & THE FEMINIST BUZZKILLS PRESENT A LIVE, LOUD, HANDS-ON CONVERSATION AND WORKSHOP

Abortion Access Front and the Feminist Buzzkills podcast are bringing Operation Save Abortion to YOU—live at Netroots Nation!

This ain’t your momma’s panel. It’s a full-blown action lab led by Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, and the AAF crew who turn rage into real results. We’ll start with the human stories of the providers on the ground and show you why connection is the core of activism.

This fun and interactive session will be led by your Feminist Buzzkills podcast hosts Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, and the AAF badasses who create our actions. It will begin with sharing experiences that show how working directly with providers and patients is crucial to abortion activism, followed by a workshop that trains attendees to take several of our programs and put them into motion right away. We’ll offer opportunities ranging from building post-abortion care packages to protecting patients from fake clinics to confronting anti-abortion lawmakers with creative, hilarious, and bold actions. There are ways to participate for all levels of ability. No experience necessary—just a commitment to showing up and fighting like hell.

There’s something for every kind of activist: introverts, extroverts, artists, organizers, and anyone ready to show up with heart. Come channel that fury into joyful resistance—and leave with tools, community, and your next move.
