breadbox promotes access to high quality abortion care through peer-to-peer education and art.
Since its founding in 2022, friends of the breadbox project have created art installations, appropriated videos and embedded them with closed captioning to avert algorithmic surveillance, stocked and distributed thousands of risograph-printed bread bags (abortion access informational kits filled with practical resources), held space for emotional and political conversations while breaking bread, facilitated peer-to-peer info shares about self-managed abortion, tabled at Pride festivals, and studied together. breadbox is an ongoing body of socially engaged art centered around care, commensality, and reproductive freedom. breadbox tactics and programs shift as conditions require.
breadbox moves in solidarity with people who have been pregnant or have never been pregnant, women, gender expansive folx, trans people, and all those who support us— countering the small group of outspoken extremists attempting to suppress bodily autonomy. breadbox treats the liveliness of sourdough baking (and each other) with responsive, sustained, and tender care, inviting us to articulate regionally-specific answers to the question: how do people access abortion care here?
