Ariel Speedwagon100% of proceeds go to directly supporting Chicago Abortion Fund.
CAF assists low-income people in obtaining safe abortion services by
providing clinic referrals, negotiated discounts and financial
assistance.Every dollar we raise will go directly to cover cash assistance to
those who need second trimester abortions through the award-winning
non-profit Chicago Abortion Fund: http://www.chicagoabortionfund.com/.Second trimester abortions are more expensive than first trimester and
often become necessary solely because it takes longer for those
without access to credit cards or hundreds of dollars in cash to
quickly gather the funds. By the time one has gathered the money for
the first trimester - it’s now second trimester and DOUBLE the price.CAF runs a hotline that people call and literally they pick
up the phone and give out cash grants. As long as they have money,
they answer the phone. Some months they have to stop answering the phone.Join a huge amazing line-up of queer performance stars as we come
together to raise funds for abortion. Because Queers Heart Abortion.
Everyone knows it.P.S. The Executive Director of this awesome organization will be at
the event to tell us more about her work on the front lines of
abortion rights.
"When I submit, I do it from a place of strength. I decide whether my partner is worthy of such a powerful and intimate gift, and I do not give my submission to anyone who does not both understand and appreciate the depths of what I am giving up for them. I value myself highly, and so I submit to people who realize that doing so does not make me less. I accept I am an intelligent, competent, submissive feminist – who sometimes finds her power by choosing to let it go."
