Proceeds benefit Texas Health Action’s Kind Clinic which serves the LGBTQIA+ community with locations across Texas at no-cost for all services, and will also support Independent Abortion Clinics with trans-centered programs throughout the US via Abortion Care Network’s Keep Our Clinics.
2021 has seen a record-breaking number of anti-trans bills introduced in states across the US, making it the worst year on record for anti-trans legislation. It's no coincidence that the same is true for anti-abortion legislation. This wave of oppressive bills seek to control our bodies.
OUR BODIES DESERVE RESPECT.
From gender affirming care to abortion, transgender individuals face barriers in accessing sexual and reproductive health care including a lack of providers who are sufficiently knowledgeable, lack of cultural competence by providers, discrimination, and financial and socioeconomic barriers.

About Keep Our Clinics
Independent abortion clinics are the most important health care professionals most people have never heard of. They collectively provide the majority of abortion in the United States, serving three out of every five people who have an abortion, operate clinics in the most hostile states, and compassionately provide care as pregnancy progresses. They do this while also fighting for our rights in legal battles across the country. It’s time to protect independent clinics, because they provide care when and where others will not, with a commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind.
Keep Our Clinics was built to provide a centralized way for the public to give to independent clinics directly. Every dollar donated to Keep Our Clinics goes directly to Abortion Care Network members' clinics to maintain access to abortion care. Funds are used to purchase medical supplies and equipment, make necessary security improvements that will keep patients and staff safe from anti-choice extremists, cover mounting legal fees to fight essential court battles and maintain compliance with unnecessary regulations, and more! Visit KeepOurClinics.org to learn more about the critical impact your gift will make today.
