Cobalt Abortion Fund staff book a lot of flights every week for abortion seekers, but we have yet to book anyone a hot-air balloon ride to get to their abortion appointment.

However, the costs for abortion seekers balloon every year thanks to October's Albuquerque Balloon Festival.

Good news the FDA has approved a generic mifepristone! As we know whether it’s generic or brand name it's safe and effective.

Join this movement by signing the petition to demand fair background checks policies in Colorado!! 🔗 bit.ly/noSSN (link in bio)

Safety, not Status: Make Background Checks Inclusive

Background checks are supposed to keep us safe—but when they require a Social Security Number (SSN), they often end up unfairly excluding people who don’t have one, especially undocumented individuals...

Cobalt’s partner organization, Juntos Community, is launching a “Safety, Not Status” campaign that is addressing discriminatory background check practices in Colorado. We want background checks to ensure our safety, NOT screen one’s immigration status.

Youth in Colorado deserve better than harmful parental notification laws that create unnecessary barriers to abortion access.

Fall in Colorado means beautiful sunny days, leaf peeping in the mountains, light jackets for brisk mornings and evenings - and of course, back to school for students.

Here at the Cobalt Abortion Fund, we trust young people to make their own healthcare decisions.

When Roe v. Wade fell, a group of women decided they wanted to be the change and organized the first Beyond Roe event. Thank you to the Beyond Roe team for being fierce reproductive rights advocates, 4 years in a row. And another thank you to Two Moons Music Hall for hosting us!

Mifepristone, the abortion pill, is safe and has been used effectively for decades.
