Richard Canevez is fundraising
Rich's Big Ride Project: Support Reproductive Rights
My name is Rich Canevez, and I'm a professor, cyclist, and new father from Houghton MI.
I am fundraising for Planned Parenthood of Michigan by riding solo on my gravel bike from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Chicago, traveling through my politically divided slice of the American Midwest.
This is also an exciting part of my first book project, where I will gather stories to share myself, us, and our battle in the current political moment.
With your support, we can help support Planned Parenthood in Michigan to preserve their mission of providing reproductive rights, reproductive rights counseling, and abortion support, particularly as these public goods will be under increased threat these next few years. Planned Parenthood and its advocates are not just the target of political rhetoric and threats to defund, but also violence and threats. I am riding to help provide a voice for their cause, and your support can make all the difference.
I have the privilege of working at an institution of higher learning, where I get to teach students about the challenges to progress in our society, whether it is racial justice, climate action, or threats to democracy worldwide. I have seen now that the threats are closer to home, and that those of us who believe in a better world need to put our money where our mouth is. For me, teaching and researching the struggle is no longer enough!
All funds raised through this GoFundMe section of the project will go directly to Planned Parenthood of Michigan to assist with their fees and needs, in order to support their overall mission.
