In this moment of uncertainty, so much is at stake for our communities. State leaders continue to pass laws that strip away our rights and attempt to divide us, trying to turn neighbors on each other.The Texas Abortion Advocacy Network is hosting town halls to create space for community-led conversations grounded in care, connection, and shared power.
Attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences, identify gaps in care and resources, and discuss what’s missing in local healthcare and advocacy. Each event will include a brief Know Your Rights (KYR) overview and an update on the current abortion landscape, followed by open discussions with insights from local experts and community leaders. Participants will also learn how to get involved in reproductive justice advocacy and connect with TAAN’s statewide network of organizers and advocates.

TAAN Academy
A majority of Texans support the right to an abortion. Yet, state politicians have banned abortion in Texas and are now trying to restrict people from traveling out-of-state to seek the care we need.
That’s why Texans of different races, ages, and genders are joining the Texas Abortion Advocacy Network Academy to learn from experts, build community with other Texans, and work together to restore and expand abortion access. Together, we can reclaim our freedom to make personal decisions about our bodies and our futures.
This 10-week virtual training experience — taught by reproductive rights, health, and justice leaders — will give you the tools and relationships you need to be a leader in your community.

TAAN in Action
TAAN helps communities advocating for reproductive justice build a strong, united network.
TAAN members are actively organizing against local abortion travel bans, mobilizing their communities in support of abortion access, and volunteering with abortion funds across Texas. TAAN members also distribute reproductive health kits to those in need and start conversations with city and county governments about alleviating the current health care crisis caused by Texas’ total abortion ban.
Through these efforts, TAAN fosters collaboration and empowers advocates to make a tangible impact. There is a role for all of us to play — get engaged!
