Four years after Dobbs, nearly 63 million people live in states where abortion is banned or restricted. Our expanded block funding program helps trusted clinic partners provide support earlier, reducing financial and logistical barriers to care. 💚 Read more: brigidalliance.org/the-brigid-a...

Bright bold text reads: We’re expanding our work to help more people access abortion care
We’re expanding our block funding to help partner clinics distribute funds at their discretion, which also formally broadens The Brigid Alliance’s model to serve pregnant people across gestational ages.

Bright bold white and orange text reads: The current landscape is dramatically increasing the financial barrier for people seeking abortion care. 42% of abortion patients face catastrophic health expenditures, and are forced to choose between care and basic needs like food and housing. For those traveling out of state, that figure jumps to 65%. Block funding is how we’ll reach people at all stages of pregnancy with direct funding, distributed by the clinics helping them access care.

Bright orange and white text reads: What is block funding? Block funding allows The Brigid Alliance to allocate resources directly to trusted clinic partners to cover costs in three core areas: Practical & logistical support, including transportation, lodging, child care and meals;
Procedure & medication support that ensures patients get the timely care they need;
Contraceptive care, which gives patients the option of accessing voluntary comprehensive contraceptive care before returning home.

Bold text reads: Brickelle, 31 “Abortion is illegal in Tennessee, and the political climate around all of it added another layer of pressure.

ICYMI: The Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone by mail while the case makes its way through the lower courts. That's good news for providers and people across the country, ensuring that accessing Mifepristone – one of two medications used in medication abortion is still an option.

Serra Sippel, executive director of The Brigid Alliance, which helps support abortion patients with travel and lodging for abortions, said the Supreme Court’s consideration of the case “should never have been on the table in the first place.”

“Patients and providers should not be forced to wait on court rulings to know whether people can access critical health care,” she said in a statement Thursday.

The Brigid Alliance @brigidalliance.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Beyond the physical barriers to abortion care, there is a mental load placed on abortion seekers that often goes unseen. It’s the stress of arranging travel, the pressure of affording care, the need to coordinate time off work or childcare, the weight of making everything align, and so much more.

A bright green background with bold text “I wasn't mentally ready to have a baby.” “I was scared, isolated, unsure how to make it work” “I was overwhelmed—between the cost, the travel, and the emotional weigh... it all felt like too much.” “I felt stressed and worried about timing” “I was worried about how much everything would cost” “I didn’t know how I’d manage everything on my own”

We're relieved The Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone by mail while the case makes its way through the lower courts. But access shouldn't have been on the table to begin with. The whiplash on these decisions and lawsuits causes confusion and delays care for abortion seekers.

Bold text reads: We're relieved The Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone by mail while the case makes its way through the lower courts. But access shouldn't have been on the table to begin with. The whiplash on these decisions and lawsuits causes confusion and delays care for abortion seekers. Read a statement from our ED Serra Sippel.

Black text reads: The back-and-forth of this case does have a cost. Confusion and uncertainty can delay care, and every day makes a difference. When people are pushed later into pregnancy, abortion becomes harder to access, more expensive, and many more miles further from home. The cost of that whiplash falls on the people who can least afford it - the same people Brigid serves every day.

Text reads: Here's what today's ruling doesn't change: Last year, we helped 1,879 people travel for care. That was a 35% jump from the year before. With or without today's decision, those numbers will keep climbing as broader restrictions tighten across the country. One ruling doesn't fix a system this broken.

So we'll take the relief and then we'll keep working.
