Hello All, Womens History Month was a huge success. I have had the pleasure of creating a large network of organizations in Cincinnati and beyond.

I got the opportunity to talk with Lexi Dotson-Dufault (Executive Director) and Taren Holliman (Program Manager) Abortion Fund of Ohio is Ohio's only statewide abortion fund, and we provide financial, emotional, & practical support to patients seeking abortion in Ohio.
