REPRO SHARE FAIR

REPRO SHARE FAIR

Repro Share Fairs are mutual aid outreaches that aim to address the immediate needs of abortion vulnerable families while building pro-life power to challenge the Abortion Industry's influence in our communities.

What is Mutual Aid?

“...more and more ordinary people are feeling called to respond in their communities, creating bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable neighbors. This survival work, when done in conjunction with social movements demanding transformative change, is called mutual aid.”

-Dean Spade, “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (And The Next)”

  • People who are members of any given community will always know their community best, especially in terms of needs.

  • Just like with protest tactics, being creative in our Share Fairs and other Mutual Aid efforts will yield greater results than merely sticking to what is expected of activists.

  • Caring for the community is a combination of both immediate local action and long-term plans for widespread improvement.

Care as Resistance:

Meeting Immediate Needs + Working Towards Change = Mutual Aid

What is a Share Fair?

Share Fairs are spaces in which material needs, such as nonperishable food, hygiene products, clothes, first aid supplies and other essential resources, are met through community participation. Share Fairs can also include donation of services, such as providing hair cuts and first aid. Repro Share Fairs focus on distributing items related to pregnancy and parenting. This includes prenatal vitiams, diapers, baby wipes, formula, and local pregnancy center flyers and resources.

Give to a Share Fair

Repro Share Fairs are not possible without resources to provide to the community. If you are able and would like to extend your solidarity with pregnant and parenting people in Washington D.C. with tangible action today, please feel free to look through our Amazon Wish List for our Repro Share Fairs in the D.C. area.
