Creating Space for Our Network to Connect

Since 2016, the community of NNAF individual members has grown to more than 1,500 people! In this moment, the collective power of our growing network is critical. Caring for each other, sharing resources, and organizing are all life-giving responses to the grief and uncertainty we face each day.

NNAF is working hard to create and steward virtual spaces for individual members to connect. One of the ways we’ve done this is to host virtual community care calls.

Individual member Veronica Cordonnier (Texas Equal Access Fund) says: “I love these calls! They’re about sharing with each other what’s happening locally and aligning ourselves in community through learning.”

Rhian Lewis (Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom), agrees. “Right now my work life, my remembering-to-take-out-the-trash-life, my research life, my family and social life, all of that takes place at my dining room table at my laptop. This call created space to step back and reflect.”

In addition to these informal and joyful community care calls, all individual members are invited to join regularly scheduled Political Education webinars. Over the spring and summer, we hosted several webinars covering topics you may have seen in the news or on social media: mutual aid and medication abortion.

Want to participate in a community care call or Political Education webinar yourself? Join us as an individual member!
