Pink Out Week
to
media release: The Dane County Food Collective (DCFC) and the Culinary Ladies Collective (CLC) believe that reproductive rights are human rights, and that the Supreme Court's ruling to strike down Roe v. Wade does not reflect the majority opinion of the country, community and our industry. We know there is a big fight ahead to make sure that pregnant people continue to have access to life-saving reproductive healthcare and the right to feel fully supported making personal decisions about their bodies - no questions asked. AND, we know that supporting reproductive rights is essential to intersectional anti-racism work. Black, Indigenous, and people of color have historically faced higher mortality rates in pregnancy, higher rates of sexual violence and abuse, and more limited access to contraception, abortion, and culturally-considerate, safe pregnancy care. Let's come together in this work to support and protect bodily autonomy and abortion access for all who need it!
DCFC and CLC are rallying businesses to join in Pink Out Week, July 16 - 24, 2022. This campaign welcomes businesses of all kinds to participate in any way they can to raise emergency funds for organizations they believe in, whether they are working for legislative change or are working directly to ensure access to safe and affordable abortion care. Some businesses may run a special, others may commit a % of sales from a day or the whole week, and others may plan events to raise awareness and money for the cause. Everyone is welcome to participate at whatever level feels right. This is a time to stand up and show our community ways they can gather to make a difference.
Planned events include... :
