I'm hopping on my little soapbox here! I am so incredibly grateful to live in NYC right now, but my home and first love is Tennessee. Those of you in blue states, let us all mobilize for those who will inevitably need abortions in the Deep South and abortion deserts around the country. There are so many people in red states and the Deep South who are tirelessly working for change and for those of us lucky enough to live in states unaffected by this ruling right now, our job is to help them in whatever way we can -- financially, or physically, or even just raising awareness. Not that I've seen anyone do this, but we cannot write off the South as a backwoods place beyond our help! This decision will disproportionally affect young, working, BIPOC without a support system, because as we all know, banning abortions only really bans SAFE abortions. Local abortion funds are a great way to channel financial support into places that really need it, as are research and donations into local government campaigns. State senate, governor, judges -- these are now the people making these decisions. Pick a state with trigger laws, and dive into information about their local elections! Donate to these candidates, and hope this leads to a better world for our children.

I live in NYC. If ever anyone in this community needs a room and help to visit my state, my door is OPEN.
