Access to abortion care is under threat. In the last six years, over 135 abortion clinics have been forced to close their doors – greatly diminishing access to essential health care in our country. These independent providers also lack the institutional support, visibility, name recognition, and fundraising capacity of national health centers and hospitals, making it especially difficult for community-based providers to garner the resources they need and provide care in their communities. 

Independent clinics have always faced challenges, the restrictions and barriers have increased due to the pandemic and an anti-abortion Supreme Court. These community clinics are also resilient and nimble and know best how to meet the needs of their communities. 

Funds are used to help clinics:

• Make necessary security improvements that will help keep both patients and staff safe from anti-choice extremists;
• Replace equipment that has been damaged in a natural disaster or is beyond the life of equipment;
• Address clinic building repair issues;
• Cover legal costs to maintain compliance with increased unnecessary regulations;
• Pay staff and rent, cover medical supplies;
