Hey friends!

We've decided to use our summer gathering as an opportunity to raise some money for a charity that helps women in the US get access to abortion, in response to the Supreme Court's outrageous decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Let's help women continue to have access to a basic human right!

We've chosen the National Network of Abortion Funds because they represent a collective of local grassroots organisations working on the ground with people who will be affected by this ban. (https://abortionfunds.org/)

Any and all donations big or small are welcome, and we'll also collect cash on the night if people would rather bring money that jiggle jiggles (or folds)

Now, you know the old saying, a Reproductive Rights Rave without a Raffle is like a fish without a bicycle. So, the main event of the night is the fabulous RAFFLE! Many of you have already donated incredible prizes, seriously, get a load of this line up. (If you'd like to donate a prize, please get in touch!) and there will be more announced as we get closer to the party.

Tickets for the raffle cost a suggested donation of £2 a ticket, and you can get as many as you like to maximise your chances of winning one of our truly extraordinary prizes.

You can enter the raffle even if you're not coming to the party!! We'll look after your prize for you! Simply make a donation to this page and say how many tickets you'd like and what name you'd like them under.

So far our fabulous prizes include;

1. GRAND PRIZE! A weekend break in a beautiful holiday home, right by the water in Shoreham-on-Sea!

I know times are tight, so there's no pressure to give anything, but anything you can give would be amazing. We're all angry and hurt about what's happened, and its hard to feel powerless in the face of something this shitty. But we can do a small good thing and raise a bit of cash, help protect body autonomy!
