Founded in 2012 by actors, activists, and friends — Martha Plimpton, Kellie Overbey, and Gina Loukareas — A is For emerged in response to the escalating legislative attacks on access to safe, reproductive healthcare.

I took out my bag of sidewalk chalk and wrote in the street in front of them: “someone you know had an abortion.” They all saw it… they couldn’t not see it. Perhaps it resonated more with their parents and chaperones.

These are fucked up times, but one thing is abundantly clear––giving up now isn’t an option. Women of America, on this dark day in our nation’s history, we invite you to join us in our seething rage by putting it towards action.

Rather than wallowing in panic and despair, let’s commit ourselves to understanding what is happening and, most importantly, what we can do about it.

“Just because we now have a Democratic president doesn’t mean that we can rest on our laurels.”

A is For mourns the loss of our dear friend, Rebecca Luker. For us, she was a model of courage. In all we do, we’ll seek to honor her spirit of defiance, dignity, and refusal to be ashamed or afraid.

We know that this is another beginning, another chance, to make things right in this country. It’s not going to be easier now, the opposition is going to fight against us even harder. But we are ready.

Early this morning A is For was able to send a modest donation to the Feminist Women’s Health Center in Atlanta. They are a non-profit clinic offering critical care, including but not limited to abortion care, to the people of Georgia. We are grateful to be able to give this gift directly to a clinic that needs immediate help, with our thanks.

Always, and now more than ever, human beings will rely on the power of art, expression, storytelling, and creative dialogue for understanding. A is For exists to exalt and celebrate that truth, and working with you, our supporters, our partners, and our Board, we’re ready for what comes next.

In a fervent speech lasting nearly an hour,  Senator Warren laid into Barrett’s refusal to answer basic questions during her confirmation hearing.

On Thursday, the United States joined Egypt, Indonesia, Brazil, Hungary and Uganda to co-sponsor the Geneva Consensus Declaration. The non-binding declaration is virulently anti-choice sentiment wrapped in pro-family camouflage.

She changed this country for women. For EVERYONE. Because women's rights are HUMAN RIGHTS. Because of her, I realized my own potential as a professional, a homeowner, a person with credit, with assets, with independence. My thanks to this woman are inexpressible. — Martha Plimpton

On August 16th, our own Martha Plimpton received the inaugural ChangemakeHER award from MamaFilm as part of their virtual rePRO Film Festival.

Today, the Supreme Court blocked a Louisiana law from going into effect that would have forced the closure of all but one abortion clinic in the state. The 5-4 decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, struck down a Louisiana TRAP law that forced abortion providers in the state to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, a medically unnecessary provision that is nearly identical to a Texas law that the Court declared unconstitutional just four years ago.

We'll be back, with a brilliant plan we've already started putting into place. In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy, and keep up the good fight. Thank you for your support over the years We love you!

Safe abortion isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It always has been––through economic crises, natural disasters, and wars––the need for access to safe abortion remains.
