February Dedicated Offering
The MA Medication Abortion Access Project
From September to June, our UU Society donates each month to a Dedicated Offering recipient and splits every Sunday’s offering plate 50/50 with the recipient organization.
The Dedicated Offerings recipient for February, as requested by UUSA’s Reproductive Justice Action Group, is the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (The MAP). The MAP is an asynchronous telemedicine service that takes advantage of the strong state Shield Law and provides abortion pills to abortion seekers in all 50 states and all US territories who are 11 weeks pregnant or less at initial contact. On February 2, we will be welcoming Dr. Diane Amsterdam to our service to talk about MAP and her work with the organization. Link to the website: www.cambridgereproductivehealthconsultants.org/map.
The Dedicated Offering Committee selects non-profit organizations that our Society will support with donations from our Sunday collections. We solicit UUSA’s members for names of organizations through a form which is available in the office and on-line here. A representative of the chosen organization is asked to speak about it, usually on the first Sunday of the month. We welcome new members.
