Today I'm attending a workshop called Operation Save Abortion, they've had several super informative panels. Recordings of the panels are available on YouTube, I really appreciate the panelists and organizations that participated. Did you know you can put kits of resources and supplies (like Plan B) in community fridges and the little community libraries?

We Testify abortion storytellers Jack Qu’emi Gutiérrez, Sam Romero, and Daniela Diaz—all Latinxs who have had abortions—sat down to discuss the Jane the Virgin abortion story line and the effects of Latinx representation on network television.
Thanks to @wetestify and everyone who shares their abortion stories to fight abortion stigma!
Listen to @abortionfunds Senior Public Affairs Manager Renee Bracey Sherman on @bitch-media‘s Popaganda podcast talking about how people who have abortions, and our stories, have been represented in political conversations.

And the thing is, the stories from We Testify are about people, not just abortions. It’s refreshing to see stories that make space for complex, whole people who, yeah, have had one or more abortions too.

I was in a space filled with people who readily accepted my lack of gender and were completely unfazed that someone who exists in such a non-normative space could also need an abortion. We Testify makes it obvious and imperative that the voices of those not usually given the opportunity to be heard are just as important as those with the most visibility.
