When Art Meets Advocacy: Queer Voices Fuel the Safe Abortion Movement

HOW MIGHT WE USE QUEER LED STORY TELLING AND ARTIVISM TO AMPLIFY SAFE ABORTION AND ADVOCACY AND CAPTURE REAL-TIME COMMUNITY FEEDBACK?

Ever wondered what happens when a room full of queer activists, healthcare insiders, and art lovers brainstorm safe abortion strategies? Last Friday, COBAST met to do exactly that—and spark a revolution in how we talk about choice and care.

From an eye‑opening rundown of the Global Gag Rule’s real‑world fallout to candid chats on the queer community’s unique myths (did you know some think abortion isn’t for “poor LGBTQ+ folk”?),

We peeled back every layer of stigma. But this wasn’t just a gripe session. We left armed with a bold podcast plan, a comic‑book project, and even a secret WhatsApp army ready to dismantle transphobia—one peer chat at a time.

Expect more heartfelt stories from us. Stay tuned as we turn artivism into impact—because safe abortion advocacy isn’t just policy, it’s personal.
