Graphic with TPFA logo and “Fund Spotlight” and the following text “The Mariposa Fund was founded in 2016 by a group of abortion care providers in Albuquerque, NM. We recognized the extraordinary barriers that exist for undocumented people trying to obtain reproductive health services, including abortion. Specifically, undocumented people face obstacles such as fear of criminalization, lack of access to health insurance, economic insecurity, linguistic barriers, and oppression rooted in white supremacy and xenophobia. We recognize these barriers as systemic and work to provide financial support for undocumented people. Our hope is to offset the financial burden for our community’s most marginalized members to ensure they have access to abortion care.”

✨Fund Spotlight✨

We are about $1300 shy of our goal of $35K, with just a few days left. We split the proceeds of TPFA evenly among our five funds, which means if we reach our goal, we will have raised $7K for the Mariposa Fund!
