There are many ways to get involved in the fight for Abortion Rights. We’ve listed a few suggestions below:
- How to Help People Access Abortion Right Now:
- If you haven’t already signed up for our upcoming volunteer trainings, you can do that here. If you’re not in Tampa Bay, or are looking to support an Abortion Fund near you, find your local fund here!
- Help us fundraise! 100% of donations go towards our clients and helping ensure they have access to abortion through: payments for abortion care and practical support to ensure they can get to their appointment!
- Share ways to donate with your friends and family: tbafund.com/donate/

- Spread the Word!
- Spread the word about Self-Managed Abortion (SMA)! SMA is medically SAFE and effective! TBAF volunteers are working hard to spread the word about these widely-available pills, which are the SAME pills that one would get at an in-clinic appointment! Check out more on plancpills.org and spread PlanCPills stickers and fliers all over your local community!! Visit abortionpillinfo.org for information from Women Help Women.
- Say the word “Abortion!” It’s important that we don’t uses “coded” language or add to the stigma surrounding abortion. Talk to your friends and family about why abortion access is important to you. #AbortionIsEssentialHealthcare
