WE DISSENT: Film & Fundraiser for Abortion Access

On June 24, 2022, SCOTUS overturned Roe. 33 dancing girls and women, aged 15 to 80, from California to Lebanon respond.


If you have been brought to this page, it is likely that you are, in some way, connected to one of these 33 incredible dancers. We are so proud to share our work with you and to have your support as we raise funds where they are needed right now -- local Abortion Fund Organizations.


We are asking that supporters of the film donate through this page to help support the work that abortion funds are doing on the ground to make sure that people are receiving the care that they need.


We have chosen to highlight seven abortion funds that represent the local funds of our dancers. Each of these funds are helping people get the care they need whether it's in their home state or in a place where abortion access is more protected.


Though we are asking for financial contributions to help these important organizations on the ground, we also want to share the film widely, so whether or not you are able to donate you can view and share the film in it's entirety through this link. 


"Abortion care is safe. Abortion bans are not. We must come together, across different races and places, beliefs, and backgrounds to reject these attacks. When people are free to make decisions about their bodies and their lives, families thrive and we build communities where each of us can participate with dignity."
