Evanstonians for Reproductive Rights
It has been brought to our attention that our original imagery for this campaign was problematic. We regret that we caused harm to any Evanstonian. We can definitely do better. Thank you to those who spoke up. Genuinely, we are listening and learning, and we are works in progress. We have changed our images and will take care to use the new ones going forward. We look forward to continuing our work to raise money for reproductive rights until we reach our goal!

So now they're getting busy. They are raising money to benefit Planned Parenthood of Illinois (Planned Parenthood of Illinois), and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this important cause.
