Today, we pause to honor the compassion, dedication, and resilience of the individuals who make abortion care possible — physicians, nurses, midwives, doulas, volunteers, receptionists, advocates, donors, and many others. Abortion is a vital form of healthcare, yet providers face more unnecessary barriers to delivering this care than many other healthcare services. So, to everyone providing abortion care and those continuing to fight for a person’s right to know and decide what is best for them and their families — thank you.
Abortion providers are part of a powerful, resilient community, showing up every day to ensure that this care remains available, even as access becomes increasingly difficult to protect. Providing abortion care is an act of hope and a commitment to the future. Let’s continue to support each other, share knowledge, and raise our collective voices to ensure this care stays accessible.
Want to show your support? Here are five ways to celebrate and uplift abortion providers today — and every day. A big shout-out to our friends at the Abortion Care Network for sharing these ideas.
1. Send a Digital Thank-You Note
Let abortion providers know you appreciate their dedication by leaving a message on Kudoboard. Your kind words can make a significant difference in their day. Send a thank-you message here.
2. Host a Letter-Writing Party
Join other reproductive healthcare advocates and write physical letters to abortion providers. Download and print this postcard or create your own. Find a list of clinics here.
3. Follow, Share, and Amplify Abortion Providers on Social Media
Help spread the word about National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. Post or re-share content using the hashtag #CelebrateAbortionProviders on any platform, starting today, March 10th, and beyond!
4. Donate to Support Abortion Providers
Every dollar donated to oyrafem.org/donate directly supports our health centers, helping them stay open and continue caring for our communities. Your support makes a tangible impact on the people and communities we serve.
5. Know Where to Find Abortion Care
We provide in-person care in health centers in Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Chicago, and offer medically-supported abortion pills by mail in 19 states. Learn more about how you can access care.
Another heartfelt thank you to abortion providers everywhere for your unwavering dedication, day in and day out. Providing abortion care is an act of love, trust, and compassion. Your efforts are seen, heard, and deeply appreciated.
