The Brigid Alliance (501c3) is a nationwide practical support organization for people who must travel long distances for abortion care.

Since launching in August of 2018, The Brigid Alliance has assisted over 5,000 individuals and families from all 50 states. We are a crucial part of the reproductive health ecosystem, connecting the geographic and metaphorical dots between policy, providers, practice, and patients.
