Check out @NLSACPC upcoming programming! Reconnecting Body and Mind is a free weekly skill building and healthy living support group for people impacted by sexual violence.
It's been a while since we introduced ourselves!
We are Shannon, Bridget and Emma + a whole lot of people who voluntarily offer their support through mutual aid.
We provide non-medical support to anyone who needs an abortion in Atlantic Canada.
This might be arranging a ride, offering gas money, arranging a place to stay, offering peer support, connecting with @actioncanadashr, @NatAbortionFed, and other orgs to help you access abortion care.
We also accept monetary donations to help people pay for their abortion if they have to pay out of pocket. We try to be as low barrier as possible.
If you would like support, connect with us through social media or email [email protected]
Reminder this is happening tomorrow! If anyone needs support to attend just let us know.
@sexworkoutreach are also offering support and snacks prior to the rally.

ALT Image description: Cartoon images of a variety of people holding signs, and cartoon fists raised in solidarity populate a busy backdrop. A large black and white sign in the centre reads “RESIST”. Text at the top of the image reads “Reproductive Rights Rally pre-game event at SHOP!” In the bottom right corner a cartoon person wearing a white shirt and blue toque holds a sign of the SHOP (Safe Harbour Outreach Project) Logo (red, capital letters S,H,O, and P below a red line drawing of an umbrella).

Having these services in hospitals throughout the province would make care safer and more accessible for women in this province. I ask the Minister, will he look into this request?

Residents of Labrador must travel to St. John's to receive abortion care. It is extremely expensive, time consuming and is a significant barrier for folks.
