Shout Your Abortion is normalizing abortion and elevating safe paths to access, regardless of legality.

Yes! SYA is a non-profit project (meaning we can accept tax‑deductible donations) as well as an LLC. We fund our programming with grants, individual donations, crowdfunding campaigns, and income from our online shop. SYA’s budget allows us to maintain a small but mighty staff, and to create campaigns, materials, and resources to support activists all over the country.

SYA has no official headquarters. Although our programming is focused in the US, we are deeply connected to movements all over the world and we support universal access to abortion without shame for everyone in the universe.

SYA has produced countless events all over the country, and most of the time protesters are not an issue. However, we recommend that you prepare for the possibility by checking in with event hosts and volunteers, and discussing what your system of responses will be if protesters show up. For example, your group might decide that a couple of people holding anti‑choice signs outside of the venue doesn’t merit any response, but that if one of them tries to come inside, you will deny them entry. Event organizers should get on the same page about whether or not you will verbally engage with protesters, and discuss your philosophy with respect to physical confrontation. You should talk through what you’ll plan to do if protesters begin making you uncomfortable, and make sure your group is on the same page about whether or not you are comfortable involving law enforcement, campus security, etc. If you’d like a dedicated security person but aren’t comfortable with police, we recommend asking a friendly local bar or club if anyone on their security staff might be willing to support your event. Ultimately, we believe that organizers making sure these things are considered and discussed in advance is the best single thing we can do to stay safe. An organization called Right To Be provides a range of free trainings for activists and other people who are interested in learning to better respond to, intervene in, and heal from harassment.

When people harass us online, we delete their comments and block them immediately. For more information about digital security, check out Digital Defense Fund, which is dedicated to helping abortion advocacy orgs protect themselves digitally, or HACK*BLOSSOM, a feminist cybersecurity organization.

Often! Please contact us if you have an upcoming fundraiser, raffle, event, etc., and briefly let us know what the funds are for, when the event is, what kinds of donations you’re interested in, and in what quantities. We’ll get back to you ASAP and let you know if we can contribute.
