40 Days for CAF

Pledge to End Clinic Harassment

 

For the past eight years, we at Carolina Abortion Fund have run 40 Days for CAF, an opportunity to show up for abortion access and also spotlight and counter the harm that anti-abortion harassers cause to clinics and patients.

Patients are forced to navigate through hostile groups to try and access the procedure they came for. While protestors are an unfortunate regular reality for many clinics, during this time, their numbers often triple, encouraging heightened harassment and intimidation.

How do we fight back? The core mechanism is simple: you have the opportunity to Pledge a Protestor (or make a one-time donation!) to ensure that even if anti-choice protestors show up outside of clinics, their very presence will be funding abortion care.

40 Days for CAF is an opportunity to show up for abortion access and also to show up in support of patients, abortion care providers, volunteer clinic escorts, clinic defender teams, and many more!

From September 24th to November 2nd, we will track donations to this campaign, and Carolina Abortion Fund will share the results. We hope that knowing their presence results in funding for abortion and will discourage them from showing up, and even if they continue to come out to clinics, they will still be funding abortions!

How Does It Work?

From September 24th to November 2nd, we will track donations to this campaign, and we will share the results weekly.
