Preterm Cleveland

Join us the morning of Saturday the 24th to eat some donuts and pack mutual aid! RSVP at https://bit.ly/pretermbrunch

No matter what circumstances bring someone to seeking abortion care, they deserve to be met with compassion instead of judgment and support instead of stigma.

Following a sold-out run at The Barrow Group in NYC, Sarah Nedwek's hit solo show, Life in Pink is coming to Cleveland!

Part stand-up, part messy memoir, Life in Pink tells Sarah's true story of navigating grief in motherhood — and ultimately finding joy in the strangest of places, people, and even zoo animals. Check out a sneak preview in the comments!

📅 Saturday, October 24: 3:00 PM, with a talkback to follow
📍 Cleveland Play House MFA Classroom
🎫 Tickets are $30

Proceeds will support both Preterm and the Life in Pink tour! Purchase your tickets at https://bit.ly/pretermlifeinpink.

Content warning: Please note the play discusses the topics of pregnancy termination and post-partum mental health.

We're still basking in the beautiful day we spent in community last month at the Detroit Shoreway Sizzle. This was our first time trying something like this, and community SHOWED UP.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this day happen. Let us know what Cleveland neighborhood we should do the next one in!

We're proud to support Abortion Access Front, Shout Your Abortion, We Testify, and UltraViolet in the project to elevate the real experience of those who've had a medication abortion.

Earlier this week, Abortion Access Front took to the streets and read the real-life Mife Stories live for 24 hours in front of Congress, countering misinformation and celebrating the ways that medication abortion has changed lives.

But the momentum doesn't stop there! You can still add your story by visiting mifestories.com. By doing so, you're helping build understanding, fight stigma, and support others navigating their own decisions.

Beep Beep! We're out here this Libra szn. Where do you plan to catch us and our community partners this month?!
