We want to express our gratitude to all our donors, volunteers, participants and supporters. We had an amazing June and hope to continue this momentum through out the summer. We definitely have a lot of shout outs coming up!
Urban Triage is pivoting to provide well researched and stigma free resources and services to those who will be affected by the decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Urban Triage will always be a power house that evolves to better serve those most vulnerable. Read more about our expected changes below and we encourage you to get involved and help where you can.

In response to the disastrously decision made by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs Wade, Urban Triage will pivot to meet the needs of the communities that are most vulnerable. We’ll be providing intentional outreach and community engagement to agencies and institutions that serve vulnerable youth, women, and people within the LGBTQIA+ community. We’ll form partnerships, and provide educational resources and events, workshops and mental wellness services. We will provide well researched and stigma free resources and support to help those in need maintain the best physical, mental and future health. We’ll also create an asset map and develop a resource page by way of our website to ensure that people have access to the services and support. In addition, our Supporting Healthy Black Families Youth workgroup curriculum will be expanded to include Reproduction Rights and additional resources to support participants.

We are in need of large plant pots or grow bags and potting soil for our Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture class. We have vegetable plants to provide to our class participants, but we need the containers for the plants to successfully grow in! This helps provide SHBA participants the ability to grow crops at their own homes! |
|
In recognition of our need to fight for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, we've decided to donate a portion of our proceeds instead of discounting them for the 4th of July. 25% of our net proceeds from now through July 4th, both online and in person will be donated directly to Urban Triage to aid in their efforts supporting and protecting vulnerable communities and the right to choose.
