In this episode, Luna sits down with the Executive Director of LAAF, Chasity Wilson, JD. A real treat for listeners - Chasity speaks incredibly candidly about the good, the bad and the ugly - in her experiences as the leader of an abortion fund - and what she is doing to shift the culture both within LAAF, and among the broader reproductive justice community.
The Louisiana Abortion Fund (formerly the New Orleans Abortion Fund) is a community fund that assists community members as they overcome the economic and geographic barriers erected to prevent them from accessing abortion care. By providing low-barrier financial support for abortions, plus support for travel and childcare, LAAF invests in the liberation of all Louisianans. LAAF works to center Black people, Indigenous communities, people of color, queer folks, and immigrants, because when society’s most marginalized are free, all be free.
