European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

Today, you can help by signing our ECI petition to ensure access to abortion across Europe. We must fight so no one is left behind.
eci.ec.europa.eu/044/public/#...

6 years ago, we repealed the 8th amendment. Since then we've had the review recommendations published ,but not implemented, and the Safe Access Zones bill passed. Abortion is still criminalised and people are still traveling for a variety of reasons. This is not good enough

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

It takes less than 1 minute to sign this petition! We need to collect a million signatures across Europe to provide financial support for anyone in Europe seeking terminations. Please sign and share far and wide!

Friendly reminder that wearing a mask is still solidarity with disabled people and the working class.

Everyone say hi to ARC 🖐
