The Brigid Alliance
Friends! The Brigid Alliance is a nationwide non-profit that provides financial and logistical support for those who must travel for reproductive healthcare. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade last summer and the ensuing wave of restrictions/bans, it's more important than ever to ensure access to essential care

OUR "Plan B": transportation money for abortions

Due to Roe v. Wade, states have placed bans and restrictions on abortions, a majority of these states being highly conservative areas. However, those who can afford to travel to another state will have no issue accessing an abortion if they require one. Other women will have to conceive a child in some cases regardless of financial struggles, rape, incest, poor health, etc. My idea of a "Plan B" is to raise money for transportation so that women who need access to abortion can travel out of state to receive the proper healthcare to do so.

All funds will be donated to The Brigid Alliance.

Since 2018, they have helped over 2,500 individuals access abortion healthcare and cover transportation, lodging, childcare, etc.

70 Years 70 Miles 7 days

Here it comes, folks~ My 70th birthday. Hard to believe, but facts are facts…

To deal with this unavoidable outcome of living long enough, I have a plan… If you know me, that’s how I roll… Here it is:

I’m running/walking 70 miles in 7 days, Tuesdays and Thursdays in August. I'll post the walks I'm taking on Facebook. You can join me for a whole walk or a brief time...or simply contribute!

With freedom and equality for women in greater and greater peril, this just seemed like the right thing to do. Please don’t give me any guff about religion on this one. This is a blow for freedom in response to extreme government overreach. If you would like to sponsor me, please pledge now!! If you gave me $1 per mile, that's $70.00! $10 per mile, $700.00! My target is $10,000. Let’s see how it goes. I will keep you posted along the way. Wish me luck!

I'm raising money to benefit The Brigid Alliance, Inc., and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that will help so many.

SLO 15-Hour Sit-In for The Brigid Alliance
SLO Sit-In is a group of community activists working to raise funds for those in need. We’re organizing a sit-in in on Saturday, July 16 from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm at the San Luis Obispo Superior Court (1050 Monterey St.) in San Luis Obispo, California. We're protesting the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade while also raising funds for The Brigid Alliance, an organization that assists individuals with accessing safe abortion care.

Like many others, we are outraged and disgusted with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the 50-year super-precedent that was set by Roe vs. Wade which protected an individual’s right to safe and legal abortions. The restriction of reproductive rights throughout the United States of America is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and discriminatory.

While this decision will impact everybody in this country, it will disproportionately impact marginalized communities including people of color, low-income, LGBTQ+, and transgender individuals, along with many others. Our goal of $12,500 will allow at least ten individuals to receive access to safe abortions regardless of where they live, thanks to the Brigid Alliance.

The Brigid Alliance removes barriers to abortion access by providing individuals with access to transportation, housing, meals, childcare, and a full support system. To learn more about the organization, visit their website here.

Updates will be posted on our Instagram and Facebook pages. If you are looking to get involved or are willing to donate time, supplies, or resources for the event on July 16, please reach out to us.

Brigid Alliance
The Brigid Alliance is a referral-based service that provides travel, food, lodging, child care and other logistical support for people seeking abortions. We prioritize clients beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy for whom it’s generally more expensive and harder to find a provider near home. We are part of an ecosystem of support organizations that is propping up abortion care access in this country in an increasingly hostile environment.

Save Our Sisters March
Justice Alito's draft opinion to overturn Roe is a disgrace to our sisters, our court, and our country. I will not sit back quietly and allow this regressive decision to become law without trying anything within my power to express my discontent. My plan is to march to Washington, D.C. with as few or as many people as possible to have my voice be heard in our nation's capitol.

While the march to D.C. may be in vain, this GoFundMe will not be. I plan to raise money during this march for The Brigid Alliance, a nonprofit organization that helps people in need of abortion care with travel expenses, amenities, and necessary support to find the care they need. The average client of The Brigid Alliance travels over 1,200 miles for abortion care and the cost typically exceeds $1,000 per patient. I hope to raise $20,022 for this nonprofit by the time my feet reach Washington.

Why $20,022? Because a vocal minority of this country has seemed to forget what year we are living in.

100% of the money raised from this GoFundMe will go directly to The Brigid Alliance. I don't have to write a check at the end of the fundraiser and no funds go into any bank account controlled by me. I personally have no monetary gain from this walk.

The Supreme Court has never overturned precedent in order to take away civil rights from a protected class of citizens. This draft opinion could cause an avalanche of related backward-looking decisions in the near future and would be disastrous for our country moving forward.

We must do something when faced with injustice and while there may be better alternatives to this march, it's the best I can come up with on such short notice. I'll leave you with a quote from John Stuart Mill from his Inaugural address delivered to the University of St. Andrews on February 1st 1867:

“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."

Thank you.

Lauren & Jesse do something with grief
Last Wednesday our 12 week pregnancy was diagnosed with many, many complications - too many to be overcome, the doctors said. After a follow-on biopsy we learned that the full diagnosis was terminal trisomy 18. Over the last week we have had to make unthinkable decisions, and have fallen into a grief that knows no bounds.

We've received so much love and support through all of this, and truly exceptional care. In spite of our grief we are so grateful for our community, and that we have access to such great care.

We cannot imagine going through this in so many other parts of this country, where we would have had to factor in legal ramifications or long-distance travel into what has already been the most nightmarish experience of our lives.

Over the past week friends and family have shared their stories of pregnancy loss with us, and these have helped us feel less shame, and less alone. So, our hope is that in sharing our story, others may also feel supported. And, as a part of our grieving/healing process we are setting up a fund to support families in accessing the care they need in moments like these. We wish no one would have to go through this, but if you do , we want you to know that you're not alone.

As we say goodbye today, we're grateful for the love you're sending, and if you'd like to do more, please join us in supporting this critical work:

The Brigid Alliance's mission is to alleviate constraints on individuals who must travel for safe and appropriate family planning services, by providing assistance with transportation, accommodation, meals, childcare, and emotional support.
