The Clinic Reading Series

Facebook Call to Arms

The Clinic is currently available for free for readings, house parties, gatherings to raise money for abortion funds and clinics. All you need are some tablets, a group of friends willing to donate to Yellowhammer Fund, ACLU, the Center for Reproductive Rights or clinics in need and a place to read. Anyone can host a party. All I ask is you let me know you’re doing it and later how much money you raised for reproductive rights using The Clinic Reading Tracker below.

I would love to see parties in living rooms, community centers, backyards, Hadassah chapter meetings, with male allies, or in college dorms. ANYWHERE from Washington to Maine and everywhere in between. So far over 50 women and organizations have contacted me to plan readings in their local communities. Let’s get a reading fundraiser in every state and every major city! The money you raise can help fight the current war on women’s bodily autonomy.
