ABORTION 54 FOREVER!

We are still recovering from last week’s Holiday Party! Over 300 (!!) of you put on your best Studio- 54- inspired outfit and helped us celebrate another year of abortion access in the DC region. We are a little biased, but this is our favorite event of the year—not because of the theme or food or venue (all important, of course), but because of you, our community. We know how lucky we are to live and work in a city that is so publicly and proudly supportive of their local abortion fund. It’s a true privilege to host the most joyful, supportive abortion fundraiser of the year. And we can only do that because of all of you.

We also want to give a special shout out to our amazing speakers, who each play a unique role in making abortion access happen. We hope you walked away knowing more about how we all work together to make the DC region one of the best places to get an abortion in the country.

And of course, thank you to our friends at Cherub Tree for lending your talent and passion to our cause. You can download their pro-abortion holiday song, “Happy Xmas (Roe is Over),” until January 7–and all proceeds go to us!

Finally, and mostly importantly: Thank you to our sponsors. Because of you, we raised over $104,000 for our callers!

We are, once again, blown away by our community. Last year you sold out the holiday party and raised over $90,000 for us. And somehow, you did that and then some again this year.

Scroll down to read through the list of incredible people who put their dollars and name behind DCAF. It is not an exaggeration to say we could not do this work without them.

We can’t wait to see you all at next year’s holiday party (we’re already thinking about what the theme could be…).

With appreciation and love,

Your friends at DCAF
