Restaurant Industry Workers Are Organizing to Fund Their Own Reproductive Care | Eater

"A nearby reproductive health clinic in Redding, California stopped providing abortions after receiving threats, creating a severe local care gap. That closure forced people to travel long distances—one person had to make a 320-mile round-trip to Sacramento—adding childcare burdens, lost wages from taking time off work, and out-of-pocket travel expenses. The clinic’s suspension of services illustrates how local shutdowns amplify access barriers for low-wage, often uninsured tipped service workers who cannot easily afford the logistical or financial costs of seeking abortion care." - Greta Moran
