been spewing out of the Ohio Statehouse. Enough is enough and we're demanding truth and dignity for our people and communities. Folks from across Ohio will spend the day together to learn advocacy skills,
share stories, hear from various speakers, and take our voices directly to our state representative and senator.We won't be played as fools. No jokes or pranks when it comes to our health, rights, and justice. Together, we will debunk misinformation and demystify the legislative process.

Bowl-a-Thon is more important than ever for those in need of abortion care. In the midst of
the Coronavirus pandemic, we
know that our most vulnerable patients will have even more challenges getting the services they need, and community care will be key to preventing a reproductive healthcare crisis down
the line. With folks losing work hours and pay, needing childcare, and having limited access to basic care and reproductive
health items like condoms and emergency contraceptives, abortion care may be more necessary and financially inaccessible than ever.
There are more links between Coronavirus and reproductive healthcare
than one may think. This Twitter thread from our friends at All* Above All gives the basics
of how this is a reproductive justice issue.
One
small way you can contribute to our friends and neighbors is by registering for Bowl-a-Thon or donating to the fundraiser
now! We’ll
keep you updated on the April 30 event, but this virtual fundraiser can go on! All funds raised
during Bowl-a-Thon go directly to patients’ abortion care.
Preterm will continue providing
abortions to people who need them, regardless of their ability to pay. But we cannot do this without you. Please consider donating today to ensure care
for the future. At a time of national crisis,
it's more important than ever to make sure people seeking abortion get the care they need, without judgement or shame.
