This event is benefiting The Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity, Texas Equal Access Fund, Whole Woman's Health, and Fund Texas Women -- Abortion Funds across the state of Texas that provide financial assistance, practical support and connections to other resources for Texans seeking abortion care.

1. During the 2013 legislative session alone, more than 300 abortion restrictions were introduced by politicians across the country.

The states in green have either threatened to pass or have passed restrictions on abortion access as of August 5, 2013.

2. When extreme SB 5 was introduced in Texas, kickass pro-choice lawmakers fought back and introduced us to amazing (s)heroes.
