White supremacist vigilante groups have put a call out for people to use violence against blockades throughout the country today. If there is an ongoing blockade or action in your area numbers are needed to keep people safe.

Two Sons of Oden members approached the BC legislature yesterday evening and then surrounded it with trucks honking their horns. Bomb threats have also been made against the Unist’ot’en and Tyendinaga Mohawks.

The Indigenous youth occupying the BC legislature have put a call out for people to stand with them throughout the day today.

While this is incredibly upsetting people are not standing down and new actions are happening every day. It is imperative that people show up and stand in solidarity with the indigenous people on the front lines making sacrifices and standing in harms way for what is right.

Three incredible videos were released yesterday that illustrate the amazing power of this movement:

1. Chief Woos reflecting on the visit of Wet’suwet’en Hereditary chiefs to Mohawk Territory
2.  A video of the Gitxsan taking over the highway of tears for 8 hours and forcing the RCMP to release their hereditary chiefs who were arrested after blocking the rail line.
3.  Victoria Redsun speaking to APTN about being arrested during the raid on the Unist’ot’en Camp.

If you can, take 15 minutes to pause your day and watch them all in full. This moment is historic, and has only just begun.

Happy Black History Month!

This Black History Month (and every day!) we honor the rich legacy of dignity and power Black people build to make liberation a reality. We also honor the many Black folks like Trayvon Martin who have become ancestors at the hands of state sanctioned violence.

At the National Network of Abortion Funds, we approach our work through a Reproductive Justice framework, with clear commitments to intersectionality and racial justice. Reproductive justice is a framework and approach started and led by women of color, specifically Black women from SisterSong. It is an invitation and a call to action beyond the gender equality, abortion rights, or pro-choice framework that often does not account for the many ways institutions, cultural norms, and systems of oppression exert control over people’s bodies and decisions, especially for people of color and people affected by economic injustice.

When we imagine freedom, we look beyond how the more privileged among us navigate systems safely. We understand liberation and humanity, particularly for those who are marginalized, are impacted by white supremacy and anti-Black racism. Our work must move us all towards action to build a world without the harmful systems that hold us down, and towards lifting up and centering the most marginalized among us.

Carry the conversation forward after this month by having Black and Bold Heart-to-Hearts on the intersections of Black liberation and Reproductive Justice. Invite your friends, family, and acquaintances into meaningful conversations about Reproductive Justice, issues that relate to abortion, and why you support abortion funds. We believe dialogue, storytelling, and intentional conversations are powerful tools to organizing and strengthening our movement. We hope these conversations will serve as a catalyst to deepen connections and make abortion access a reality.

Thank you for all the love and labor you extend towards shaping a world where Black lives and all of our lives can thrive.

In solidarity, 

National Network of Abortion Funds
