Share Abortion Pills

Dear friends of A is For,

A is For been working with our friends at Shout Your Abortion on a nationwide action to raise public awareness of abortion pills on 12/1, in conjunction with opening arguments in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Reproductive Health Organization, the Mississippi case which may dismantle Roe v Wade.

Mifepristone and Misoprostol—aka abortion pills—are safe, effective, and they're now widely available by mail in all 50 states. These drugs have the power to greatly mitigate the damage done by anti-choice legislation, but currently, relatively few people are aware this option exists. On 12/1, SYA is coordinating a day of action which will elevate information about abortion pills and which represents a collective promise to defy any court who rules against reproductive freedom. No court will ever stop us from having abortions, and Mifepristone and Misoprostol will be an integral part of making sure abortion remains as safe and accessible as possible, no matter what the courts decide.

SYA has created a toolkit with downloadable assets including posters, flyers, road signs, and other artwork, as well as a pop-up website, shareabortionpill.info, which provides information and resources related to abortion pills and summarizes the 12/1 action. Please forward these instructions or the doc at bit.ly/abortionpillsforever to your mailing lists/followers/friends on the evening of 11/30.

Here's how to participate on 12/1:

1. Elevate the campaign. Post the campaign URL (ShareAbortionPill.Info). Follow and re-post content from @ShoutYourAbortion on IG, on Twitter at @ShoutYrAbortion, and on Facebook at @ShoutYourAbortionUSA, using #AbortionPillsForever.

2. Download, print, and disseminate assets of your choice from the SYA toolkit. Be sure to read the whole toolkit for messaging and safety recommendations. In addition to posters, flyers etc, the toolkit contains social media assets and high-quality photos of guerrilla actions to share on social media in place of/in addition to your own action.

3. Document your art/action (video, photo, etc).

4. Post your photos (or re-post some of the SYA images) using the hashtag #AbortionPillsForever. Tag SYA on Instagram @ShoutYourAbortion, on Twitter at @ShoutYrAbortion, and on Facebook at @ShoutYourAbortionUSA.

5. Add a caption which frames the larger action. Messaging examples (find more at bit.ly/abortionpillsforever):

Did you know that abortion pills are now available by telemedicine in all 50 states? These drugs are safe, convenient, and $150. And people can use #AbortionPillsForever, no matter what SCOTUS or any court decides. Spread the word and ShareAbortionPill.Info

SCOTUS may overturn Roe v Wade but @ShoutYourAbortion wants you to know that abortion pills are safe, legal, and widely available online. We will never stop helping each other have safe abortions. Visit shareabortionpill.info and spread the word. #AbortionPillsForever

SCOTUS’s decision in Dobbs will very likely lead to abortion being banned in half the States. Abortion pills by mail are the best tool we have to minimize the impact of whatever anti-choice legislation we see passed in coming years—and EVERYONE in this country needs to know about this option ASAP: ShareAbortionPill.Info

Please feel free to use whatever messaging feels genuine to you - please be sure to include the website shareabortionpill.info and the hashtag #AbortionPillsForever.

Thank you so much! SYA has some huge actions planned for this day so please keep your eyes peeled and help us turn up the volume on December 1st.

Sincerely,

A is For
