“There has always been the struggle for marginalized communities to have access to abortion care, and sincethat has been amplified and just blown out of the water,” said Sylvia Ghazarian, executive director of the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project, a national abortion fund. In 2022, 69% of their clients were receiving public assistance and more than half were unemployed.
“Abortion funds have built trust over decades and operate more like mutual aid organizations than traditional nonprofits, having done the work in terms of antiracist training and vetting volunteers, etc.,” said Rachael Lorenzo, co-founder and executive director of Indigenous Women Rising, an abortion fund for all Native and Indigenous people in the United States and Canada.
Kelsea McLain, deputy director of the Yellowhammer Fund, which is based in Alabama, said that her organization has found itself ineligible for some grants and funding from foundations “because we can’t safely provide information about our clients to them — we had to wipe our database to protect our clients.”
