Kansas Votes To Protect Abortion Rights!!

August 2nd is a very important day in the state of Kansas. Today, voters will decide to either amend or preserve their state’s constitutional right to abortion. The current “Value Them Both” amendment would allow the state legislature to challenge the right of access to reproductive healthcare for millions of people throughout the state.

Our peer educator, Avneet, shares why she is voting “NO” on this ballot measure that would amend her home state’s constitution to allow for abortion restrictions and bans.

“Denying anyone of their human right to bodily autonomy is reprehensible. The “Value Them Both” amendment on our ballots this midterm season is a violent attempt at undermining all of the incredible hard work abortion rights activists have done in our state for decades. I’m incredibly fortunate for my ability to access adequate reproductive healthcare in my new home in Oregon, but my obligation to fight for safe and comprehensive reproductive justice across the country is unwavering. I’m one of many voters who will vote “NO” on this amendment today, and also just one of many who are committed to fighting for reproductive justice even outside of the polls.

I’m voting “NO” because I unwaveringly support an individual’s right to choose what is best for their own health and well-being.

Your body. Your choice.”

Community keeps us safe.

There are so many wonderful organizations doing the important work of providing safe access to people in need of contraceptives and abortions. If this is you, we want to uplift you and the resources you can provide our community. Please get in contact with us, so that we can share our platform here with you.

Our DMs are always open to anyone in our community who is in need. If there are any resources we can help you obtain, we would be more than happy to help you in any way that we can.

Love one another a little harder today. Community, solidarity, and compassion are healing and incredibly sacred. Take care of one another.

Bumped into this awesome new friend at Safeway today. Look at his hat! 🥰

We love what we do!

Abortion is a human right. Bodily autonomy is a human right. The right to decide what happens to your body is your right and your right only.

We want to start a conversation with our community about what the denial of access has looked like for you.

What does abortion mean to you?

What does the right to choose mean to you?

We’re looking to expand our team for this upcoming school year!

Interested in community education and violence prevention programming? Passionate about equity work and transformative justice? At Illuminate, we strive to cultivate diverse programming that aims to leave a long lasting impact on members of our community.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for Denim Day yesterday! We’re so grateful for our amazing community that is utterly dedicated to supporting, protecting, and uplifting survivors.

We cannot express our gratitude enough for Brad and Amy, the loving parents of Amara Marluke, for coming out today to support our event and creating this beautiful tribute piece for Amara.

This denim will continue to hang on our clothesline for years to come, and Amara’s story will forever be honored alongside the stories of all the survivors brave enough to share their testimonies on our clothesline.

Come view our display of denim today in Park Blocks before 3 pm.
