Umbrella: Abortion Funds
For the past three years, FTH has supported one “umbrella” cause: we invite participants to donate to their own local grassroots organization, while also suggesting a handful of exemplary organizations working in in communities where the need is especially acute. This year (like last year) this umbrella category is abortion funds.
Abortion funds are grassroots nonprofits dedicated to supporting reproductive justice in their communities. These organizations provide financial, logistical and emotional support for people seeking abortions, and work to build collective power to create political and cultural change around reproductive freedom.
Our 2023 selections for the umbrella group was compiled with assistance from Kiki, a digital engagement manager for an abortion support nonprofit and the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the (now-defunct) site The Learned Fangirl. (Please feel free to reach out to her on twitter @kdc if you have any questions about abortion funds!)
Buckle Bunnies Fund
Indigenous Women Rising
Kentucky Health Justice Network
Abortion Fund of Ohio
New Orleans Abortion Fund

The orgs without asterisks may take international donations through a paypal or venmo account. If you are a non-US-based bidder/donor and you are having trouble finding an organization to which you can donate, please email us directly at fandomtrumpshate @ gmail . com.

Last Thursday I had an exclusive interview with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. We stood and talked in the great greenhouse in Kew Gardens. Victoria had a laugh that I wore both a fluffy vest and a winter coat. I am a person who is always cold. The Crown Princess is a person who is always warm. [...] Victoria and Daniel joke and laugh a lot. The Prince first ended up behind a large palm leaf that insisted on laying itself over his face. There was a lot of laughter. But when the interview starts, it gets grave and is taken with seriousness. Not least because my questions dealt with major topics such as the war in Ukraine and the climate crisis. It turned out to be an exciting conversation.
