Next nationwide flash event July 29th, 2023!
National network of abortion funds
“The National Network of Abortion Funds builds power with members to remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access by centering people who have abortions and organizing at the intersections of racial, economic, and reproductive justice.”
National Center for transgender equality
“The National Center for Transgender Equality advocates to change policies and society to increase understanding and acceptance of transgender people.”
Let your voice be heard!
My name is Krista Reid, the owner of Oak & Iron in Buffalo, NY and the organizer of this event. This year more than ever we have to fight back to protect our body autonomy. This is our second year running the nationwide flash event to raise money for National Network of Abortion Funds but this year we are including another non-profit that needs our help, the National Center for Transgender Equality.
Body autonomy goes beyond our reproductive rights. It’s the right to consent. The right to choose. The right to be yourself. Last year we raised nearly 500k with all of your help and we want to continue adding to that donation, continue making noise, and continue fighting for our rights!
$402,877.90
Raised and counting!
Since July 2022
