Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting’s Jim Naureckas said of our Facebook page,

“If you want the latest dispatches from the War on Women, this is the page to Like.”

But our team at A is For isn’t going to settle for having just the best Facebook page that covers every breaking story that affects women’s lives and their reproductive freedoms. Using our Nightly Need to Know posts as the anchor, we want AisFor.org to be your home base for the best coverage, opinions and voices of advocacy in women’s news!

That’s why we need your help, immediately.

In order to do this, we will need to rebuild our website from the ground up; something that isn’t cheap. So we’re asking you to consider donating towards our mission. We’re hoping to raise $5,000 over the next thirty days so that we can re-launch AisFor.org in June!

All donations to A is For are tax deductible and can be made at the link below. We’ve been so energized by your support throughout our first year, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next!

Donate Today!

Sincerely,

The Team at A is For

A is For’s mission didn’t end after Election Day; it will continue until women’s reproductive choices are no longer held hostage by the agendas of politicians and special interest groups. When the rights to physical autonomy and self determination come under attack, everyone has an obligation to stand up and speak out. Because if you think it can’t happen to you, you’re mistaken. A is For is in this for long haul and we’d love for you to continue on this journey with us.
