On Friday, June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, effectively eliminating the constitutional right to abortion. As a result of this decision, several states have already severely restricted or outright banned abortion access with many others expected to follow suit, putting the health of women throughout the country at risk. These pre-vetted organizations are actively working to dismantle a system which threatens a woman's right to choose. These organizations are also working to increase access to quality reproductive health care. Their work advocates for women's fundamental rights through policy, research, education and monetary funds.

Help expectant mothers save their unborn child and provide assistance after birth! Many women need healthcare and financial support when they have an unexpected pregnancy, both before and after the birth. Unfortunately, most pregnancy centers are not supported by the Cisco Foundation. Nevertheless, these few organizations are approved and several others are under review for consideration. Please let me (Dave Dibert) know if any more are approved by the Cisco Foundation, and we'll add them to the list. Let's help support these women so they may one day hold their precious child.

Join me in donating to charities which will fight to ensure the restoration of Women's reproductive rights. If you have more charities to add ping me!

In the summer of 1969, police raided a gay bar in New York City; the riots that ensued were a major turning point for the fight for gay rights in the United States. Since June 1970, LGBTQ+ folks, along with activists, advocates, and allies have continued to gather together in June to march with Pride. While there are still many obstacles the LGBTQ+ community faces, significant progress has been made over the past few decades. The Pride Fund supports organizations that promote the safety and advance the wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community through advocacy, direct services, health accessibility, education, legal representation, and public policy changes. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives working to ensure acceptance, equity, and justice for all. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

Donate and volunteer with organizations helping to challenge racial, structural, and economic injustice, end police brutality and enforce accountability, and eradicate inequality.

Please join us in donating to help the victims and families after the Robb Elementary School mass shooting that killed 19 children and 2 teachers on May 24 in Uvalde, Texas. We've chosen the nonprofit Victims First to support in order to get funds to the families in need.

The Antiracism Fund supports organizations doing the hard, important work of advancing antiracism. The Antiracism Fund includes organizations that support efforts to advance antiracism through research, education, policy, advocacy and community outreach.

During the month of June, Wunderqueers will be spotlighting Rainbow Railroad. Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm. As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals will be able to access lives free from persecution.

From The CUT: "If Roe is overturned, the Guttmacher Institute predicts that abortion would be explicitly or effectively outlawed in at least 26 states. According to one estimate, 41 percent of women of childbearing age, mostly across the South and Midwest, would lose access to their nearest clinic, potentially increasing their average travel time by hundreds of miles. And Republicans have already been chipping away at access in these states for years, making abortion virtually inaccessible even if technically legal. If you’re feeling terrified and want to take action, the best thing you can do is donate to an abortion fund: an on-the-ground organization that helps arrange and pay for abortion care for patients who need it. In states where access has been whittled away almost entirely, these funds also help pay for transportation and lodging for patients who have to travel hours, sometimes crossing state lines, just to access health care." More funds, remember even if it isn't on here, you can still get CH to match manually: https://www.thecut.com/article/donate-abortion-fund-roe-v-wade-how-to-help.html

This fund was organized by Pantheors to support, educate, and spread awareness of women's reproductive rights. This fund is composed of pre-vetted nonprofits committed to providing safe abortion, education, resources, and protection of women's rights.

Does the Red Cross only help in Ukraine or also in neighbouring countries? Our aid workers are currently standing by in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Croatia, Moldova and Lithuania. When entering these countries, people from Ukraine receive food, drink and toiletries. We also provide temporary shelter and medical and psychosocial assistance. In Moldova, the Red Cross has set up a reception center that can accommodate more than 800 people. Our aid workers in the reception centers also help to make contact with relatives of the people who are fleeing. Many have lost contact with their loved ones along the way. 3. Given the unsafe situation, can the Red Cross stay in Ukraine? We do our best for that! We work as much as possible with local aid workers. They have also been affected by the conflict, but nevertheless do everything they can to continue to provide other people with humanitarian aid. It is important that emergency workers can continue to do their work safely. In this overview you can read what we do in Ukraine. 4. Does the Red Cross also help with the reception of people from Ukraine in the Netherlands? We do indeed support the reception of people from Ukraine. For example, we set up reception locations. In addition, together with other organisations, we help to accommodate people from Ukraine with private individuals.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. It offers an opportunity to reflect on progress made, to call for change, and to honor acts of courage and determination by women who have helped in moving the needle toward gender parity within their countries and communities. We encourage you to give to this campaign, or to search on Bright Funds for a nonprofit that is helping to create a more just, equitable world. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.
