ABORTION PROVIDER APPRECIATION DAY

On March 10, 1993, Dr. David Gunn was murdered by a white supremacist anti-abortion extremist. As a way to honor the life and work of Dr. Gunn and all of the courageous, compassionate people who provide abortion care, March 10 became the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers (beginning in 1996).

#CelebrateAbortionProviders has become an annual tradition of celebrating and appreciating abortion care providers through love notes, art, acts of kindness and support, messages of affirmation, a love-fest on Twitter, and more. Join us in showing gratitude and support for abortion care providers everywhere, all year long.

Prism: What a real love letter to abortion care providers would say

Independent abortion care providers have been providing essential health care for decades and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Send them love and gratitude by making a donation at KeepOurClinics.org. All proceeds from Keep Our Clinics go to independent abortion clinics.

Send a love note postcard to an independent abortion clinic! You can send love notes to clinics all year long — not just on March 10th.

Download the postcard’s front and back designs; we recommend having these printed with a local print shop or online service (rather than a home or office printer).
Once printed, fill-in-the-blank on the front with permanent marker, write a love note on the back, affix a $0.36 stamp, & send to an indie clinic – you can find a list of clinics here; click on the link for their website + mailing address
