We work together every day to make abortion access possible, so it was extra special to share and celebrate with our Florida and NY communitiesโ€”especially at the iconic Joe's Pub ๐Ÿฟ

Earlier this month, NYAAF and Women's Emergency Network teamed up for a CABARET FOR ABORTION ACCESS! ๐ŸŽญ

This fundraiser featured over a dozen performances by Broadway, film, and TV stars, and raised $360K to support abortion seekers forced to travel from Florida to New York.

RESIST! NYAAF will strengthen our network and resilience as we face rising authoritarianism, attacks on bodily autonomy, and ongoing harm to marginalized communities. We resist not with fixed plans, but with a determination to meet the moment through creatively resourcing abortion by all means necessary.

Rooted in our commitment to reproductive justice, collective liberation, & community care, our plan includes advancing abortion access, organizing for systemic change, & strengthening our resilience.

๐Ÿ’ป nyaaf.org/strategic-plan
ADVANCE ACCESS FOR ABORTION SEEKERS NYAAF will expand and deepen direct caller services and program offerings. This ensures our callers, including New York residents and people traveling from out-of-state, can access abortion care by providing compassionate, holistic wrap-around servicesโ€”including Financial, logistical, and emotional supportโ€”before, during, and after their abortion. ORGANIZE FOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE + LIBERATION NYAAF will organize for reproductive justice by building collective power, shifting public narratives, and dismantling barriers to care. grounded in our callersโ€™ experiences, NYAAF will stand in solidarity with affected people in banned and restricted states, expose access gaps in places where abortion remains Legal, and use community organizing, advocacy, and storytelling to connect abortion access to broader movements for systemic change.

Abortion funding is tough in this political environment. That's why we value Adaptability & Sustainability, as well as Integrity & Accountability ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ nyaaf.org/about-us
ADAPTABILITY + SUSTAINABILITY We are committed to being nimble and creatively responding to frequent landscape changes. We nurture our collective resilience in service of our community, continuously fostering abundance while preparing for scarcity. INTEGRITY + ACCOUNTABILITY We ground all of our decisions in our values. We take responsibility for our individual and collective impact, and embrace generative conflict as a pathway to deeper understanding, healing, and connection.

We care about Lived Experience, and we try to model Radical Empathy & Trustโ€”from our callers, to our partners, to our staff and board ๐Ÿซ‚

๐Ÿ’ป nyaaf.org/about-us
LIVED EXPERIENCE We honor the expertise of those who have had abortions, faced barriers to abortion care, and come from communities that have experiencedโ€”and continue to experienceโ€”reproductive oppression. We recognize that those most impacted by these systems of oppression should lead the way toward their dismantling. RADICAL EMPATHY + TRUST We center our shared humanity in everything we doโ€”from our direct caller services, how we work together, to movement partnerships, and beyondโ€”and trust people as experts in their own lives and needs.

We reject shame and stigma around sex, abortion, and all reproductive outcomes, and create joyful spaces where full bodily autonomy is celebrated without judgment.

OUR FRAME NYAAF grounds its work in the reproductive justice framework, defined by sistersong as the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities. We recognize that reproductive justice is broader than abortion access and necessitates the deconstruction of all oppressive systems including patriarchy, white supremacy and anti-Blackness, capitalism, imperialism, and ableism.
