Incumbent Congresswoman Cori Bush has a personal stake in Missourians’ reproductive freedom and has a proven track record of boldly standing up for our rights as our state’s leading pro-reproductive freedom champion in Congress. As a former nurse, pastor, activist and abortion storyteller, even before taking office, Rep. Bush has consistently relied on her personal experiences with abortion and sexual assault to center the Missourians most impacted in her work to advance and protect access to abortion, birth control, and the full spectrum of reproductive health care.

We love Clinic Es**rts for their boldness, commitment, and overall compassion for patients and vulnerable communities.

As more and more folks from across the South and Midwest are now forced to travel to our partner clinics in SW, IL to access abortion care, the need for our presence has increased tenfold.

If this sounds like a role for you, we’d love to have you join our upcoming Clinic Es**rt Training on Thursday, August 1 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, where you will learn how you can uplift and support patients in the face of harassment and intimidation.

With our endorsement of Raymond James for Senate District 31, we’re proud to re-announce our full slate of state Senate candidates ready to bring reproductive freedom to Missouri!

This year has seen an unparalleled volume of candidates who have sought AAM’s endorsement– already double the number we surveyed and vetted last year. We know that with this impressive group of dedicated pro-abortion champions, we will build the future we deserve. Make sure to give them your votes on August 6!

Our Congresswoman, Cori Bush, knows firsthand that abortion is reproductive care and healthcare is a human right. A fearless champion for abortion rights, she began boldly telling her abortion story to bust stigma starting on the steps of St. Louis’ Old Courthouse. She has since utilized her personal experience to fight in Congress for all facets of reproductive freedom from access to medication abortion, eliminating barriers to care for the disabled community, and blazing the path toward a future for abortion justice in Missouri and across the country.

This Saturday, join the AAM team and Action St. Louis to canvass to help us continue building Rep. Bush’s movement for reproductive freedom. Link below!

This morning, we were proud to be with our partners at Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region & Southwest Missouri and the reproductive freedom champions of the St. Louis City Board of Alders to declare the City of St. Louis free of anti-abortion laws that put our citizens, healthcare providers and our city at risk.

St. Louis now stands ready to welcome abortion providers back to our city and state following the statewide vote to end the abortion ban, and declares access to abortion and all sexual and reproductive health care a fundamental value to the policies and practices of the Board of Alders.

Thank you to Alderwoman Cara Spencer for sponsoring and passing the resolution en blanc (with unanimous co-sponsorship)!

St. Louis is a reproductive freedom city!
