Abortion access has become an information game.
Today a new administration takes the helm, made up of cabinet members that have positioned themselves as fundamentally opposed to our movement to expand and protect access to reproductive health and rights.
The fact that inauguration day falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not lost on us: a day meant to honor the activists' legacy and the ongoing fight for racial equality, the working class, and the oppressed. Meanwhile Meta has removed fact-checking, which many fear will usher in a next wave of hate speech and misinformation, a conservative judge in Texas has allowed the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v FDA case to continue to threaten abortion pill access, and historic and tragic fires in LA were met with voices from the right ignoring climate science in favor of blame games and short-term economic gains.
But under all of these pressures, a new era of activism is emerging: one where communities realize they don't have to wait for systems to turn around, they can show up for each other, help one another get what they need, and create a new reality, one intentional act at a time.
In this next chapter, accurate and timely information will be key: whether environmental, economic, health and well-being. For some people, facts have become subjective, but for people needing abortions, the facts are clear: resources like plancpills.org and ineedana.com display the results of real research, and index real resources and providers. Youalwayshaveoptions.com is an easy way to share a snapshot of what access looks like in modern US no matter what state bans are in place.
If you are looking for ways to support access in 2025, sharing information is still the #1 way to help. At Plan C we will keep running campaigns and doing our part, but you can help reach areas and communities we can not. Visit YouAlwaysHaveOptions.com for easy shareable images and videos to help spread the word about all that's available, no matter where you live. By making this information normal and available, we create a new reality, one that actually dignifies and serves the needs of the people living in it.
Onward,
The Plan C Team
