Earlier this week, Steve (the dog) and I ran a 5k for the Culture Study Abortion Run/Walk. Honestly, the run itself kind of sucked: it was hot and humid and I never felt great, which seems very fitting, because that’s how I feel about the fact that we’re re-fighting this fight for basic reproductive rights and healthcare. But we did it, and it matters. I’m so grateful for the Culture Study Discord members who planned and orchestrated this event totally on their own - hundreds of people are participating this week. All donations are going directly to ARC Southeast, an abortion fund that provides assistance to people in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, SC, and Tennessee. **I’ll be matching all donations to ARC Southeast up to $500 - so whether or not you’ve run or walked 5k this week, send me a screenshot of your donation via DM and I’ll match it.** (the link to donate will be in my stories, and my email: annehelenpetersen @ gmail if that’s easier) All of this sucks. But all of this matters.
