In Response to Roe
Hi Friends,
Today we had planned to send out our first weekly newsletter, however due to today’s Supreme Court decision, we will be postponing until next week. Alongside many of you, we are deeply devastated by the decision to overturn nearly 50 years of precedent set by Roe v. Wade.
We hope you are taking care of your mental and physical wellbeing during this time. If you are in need of resources to access care or feel inclined to donate your time, money or skills, we’ve included links below.
With love,
Sarah @ Subject Matter
