Abortions are now banned in Florida after six weeks, and while there are still about 180 days until voters will decide on whether or not to enshrine the right to reproductive care into the state constitution, the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund (TBAF)—which provided support for about 2,000 people last year—is not wasting any time.
The nonprofit continues to provide access, financial assistance, and logistical support to people seeking abortions in the Bay area—but it needs help.
An out-of-state abortion can cost around $2,000, according to TBAF. An online Fund-A-Thon is about 25% to its goal, and on Friday, Tampa sports and drinking facility Shuffle hosts a dance party featuring raffles and DJs like Cub, DJ Plant BAE’sd (Shaun Drees of hardcore band Horsewhip), and Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s senior music correspondent Gabe Echazabal.
Donations will be accepted at the Dance Party Fundraiser for Tampa Bay Abortion Fund happening on Friday, May 10 at Tampa Shuffle.
