Even though we had months to prepare since the leaked Roe V Wade decision became public, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a decision that each of the Justices who overturned it said was precedent under oath, is frightening in the fervor with which some states are controlling uteruses even more and the long-term applications on other privacy “precedents” clearly on the docket.
In this moment, however, only safe abortions have been prevented, not the total number occurring. And humans with uteruses will die, impacting BIPOC AFAB humans the most.
So in response to this moment, Mister Domestic will be hosting a fundraiser to raise money for abortion fund and abortion access organizations.
I’d like to focus on those organizations that aren’t as commonly spoken about or focus on BIPOC or LGBTQ humans. Our goal is to have a total of 10 vetted organizations before the start of the fundraiser. This is going from idea to implementation rather swiftly, so I don’t have all the details right now, but will be adding things in real-time to this post as soon as we have it.
I just wanted to get this started by letting everyone know that we will use my @misterdomesticfundraiser account to set up a fundraiser of handmade goods, handmade related items, or something cool someone will bid on, where 100% of the proceeds will go to the organizations listed below.
Click the button below to be taken to the donation form for handmade, handmade adjacent, or really cool items. Even if you are unable to donate, please share with others who may be in a position to do so.
I will begin listing items as soon as I receive them and this will run the week of July 4th – 11th. Thank you kindly for any and all assistance.

About Us: a national/state partnership designed to amplify and lift up the voices of Black women leaders at the national and state levels in our ongoing fight to secure Reproductive Justice for all women and girls.
Our organization partners with eight Black women’s Reproductive Justice organizations – Black Women for Wellness, Black Women’s Health Imperative, New Voices for Reproductive Justice, SisterLove, SisterReach, SPARK Reproductive Justice NOW!, the Afiya Center, and Women With a Vision
To educate and mobilize Black women, femmes, and girls on issues such as abortion access, contraceptive equity, and comprehensive sexuality education.
(TAC) was established in response to the increasing disparities between HIV incidences worldwide and the extraordinary prevalence of HIV among Black womxn and girls in Texas. TAC is unique in that it is the only Reproductive Justice (RJ) organization in North Texas founded and directed by Black womxn. At TAC we are transforming the lives, health, and overall wellbeing of Black womxn and girls by providing refuge, education, and resources; we act to ignite the communal voices of Black womxn resulting in our full achievement of reproductive freedom.
We believe that good health is physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and financial well-being. We believe in healthy communities where Black women and girls have the ability and resources to grow strong and soar. We believe that good health involves the integration of western medicine and holistic health practices to create a better life. We believe in preventing illness through education, self-empowerment, access, appropriate treatments and interventions, and blending solutions that work for Black women and girls. We believe that the lifestyles or financial and educational status of Black women and girls must not matter in our ability to implement health decisions or access to health services.
New Voices for Reproductive Justice are dedicated to transforming society for the holistic health and well-being of Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people, nationally and in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They help dismantle patriarchal anti-Blackness using the tools of community organizing, leadership development, and voter engagement.

SPARK defines Reproductive Justice as a social justice movement rooted in the belief that individuals and communities should have the resources and power to make sustainable and liberatory decisions about their bodies, genders, sexualities, and lives. Reproductive Justice is pro-sex, sexuality, gender, queer bodies, access to abortion and contraception, birth rights and chosen families, and so much more!

The National LGBTQ Task Force recognizes that everyone has a fundamental right to sexual and bodily autonomy, which includes the right to decide whether or when to become a parent, parent the children we have, and to do so with dignity and free from violence and discrimination. We support the reproductive health, rights, and justice (“repro*”) movements because LGBTQ people need access to reproductive healthcare and services, but we continue to face pervasive discrimination designed to block recognition of our identities and relationships and to hinder our ability to access the healthcare we need, including gender-affirming care and sexual and reproductive healthcare.
