In the nonprofit world we oftentimes get so caught up in data that we end up reducing human beings to metrics. The reality is that each data point represents real people with real lives. People that have been forced to the margins by a government and society that wants to see them erased.
✨Networking for Action✨ This community mixer was a great example of one of my favorite quotes, “If you want to go far, go together” Thank you to our Digital Defender @yourpelvically for representing YHF and making new connections to make our community better
Pleasure isn't separate from Reproductive Justice. Join Yellowhammer Fund ED Jenice Fountain for a conversation on why organizations should invest in pleasure programming, what Hot Girl Summer teaches us about community care, and why the Deep South continues to lead with bold visions of liberation.

What a weekend at ESSENCE! 💜 Yellowhammer Fund was proud to stand with organizations like SisterSong and connect with Hoochies of Houston, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and so many other advocates. We're leaving inspired to keep advancing this work for us all. Party (NOLA BOUNCE REMIX) Produced by VIP

Healthcare access means making sure people can get the care they need. In June, Yellowhammer Fund supported 101 callers, helped clients travel 44,150 miles, and pledged $53,890 toward abortion care and practical support. Together, we're breaking down barriers to care.

In April, Yellowhammer Fund navigated the most clients since resuming abortion assistance back in March of last year. Despite the reversal of Roe, abortions have been going up nationally. This is why conservatives have been unrelenting in their attacks on abortion access.
AL AG Steve Marshall is escalating attacks on abortion access. This time targeting websites that provide or even share information about abortion pills. Monday, June 29 4:00 PM CST
Happy Pride! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Yellowhammer Fund table at Central Alabama Pride. Whether you grabbed resources, asked questions, or just stopped to chat, we're grateful we got to celebrate with you. Here's to community, care, and liberation.
Final week of the Bus Tour! This week we traveled to Enterprise, Evergreen, Opp, Atmore, Bay Minette, and Georgiana, bringing reproductive health resources directly to communities across Alabama. Thank you to every partner and community member who welcomed us.
Alabama leads the nation in prosecuting pregnant people. Let that sink in... Pregnant bodies are more likely to die or be prosecuted than any other state in the country.
Recently we were on a panel at Netroots Nation 2026 titled, "Underground Care and Resistance: Southern Repro Justice Lessons". Tune in to hear from Yellowhammer Fund, ARC-Southeast, and Palmetto State Abortion Fund on navigating southern systems. https://youtu.be/rc5xMO7Ql7Q?si=Rry7CrmODOCQPwGf

Fund-a-thon happens every year, but this year feels particularly special. With the cost of living ever increasing people still rallied together to make abortion possible for those in the Deep South. With 509 total donors, 340 of which were new, we were able to exceed our $50,000 goal!
Access shouldn't depend on your ZIP code. Through the Yellowhammer Fund Bus Tour, we're bringing reproductive health resources directly to communities across Alabama. By partnering with trusted local organizations, we're expanding access, sharing information, and meeting people where they are.
Join Yellowhammer Fund's email list for updates, action alerts, and opportunities to support reproductive justice in the South. And if you're able, become a monthly donor. Sustaining support helps us continue showing up for people seeking care every day. https://www.yellowhammerfund.org/about-us/
Why does reproductive justice belong at Pride? At Central Alabama Pride, we asked attendees why organizations like Yellowhammer Fund matter in LGBTQ+ spaces. Their answers reminded us that healthcare, bodily autonomy, and community are all connected.
This Sunday is Father's Day! We are grateful to serve our community, but we recognize that systemic failures often force nonprofits to fill gaps. Father's Day reminds us to cherish and fight for the dads in our communities.

History is not just something we learn about. It's something we carry with us. During our staff retreat, we visited the Equal Justice Initiative to reflect on the histories of injustice, resistance, and resilience that continue to shape our world.
