Project Choice
An open-call digital charity
zine for healthcare access
& reproductive rights
Contributor submissions are open until November 1st!
About
On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion no longer exists. This ruling will also affect access to contraceptives, life-saving treatments, family planning services, and other protections—particularly for those living in poverty, who are BIPOC, and/or who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.Project Choice is not only a response to this attack on human rights but it is also a way to show our support for healthcare access & reproductive services. We will eventually vote on which nonprofit we will contribute to via the finalized zine launch.
