Mission: The Brigid Alliance is a nationwide practical support organization that arranges and funds transportation and other logistical support for individuals who must travel long distances for abortion care. In close partnership with a trusted network of organizations and providers, we work to close the gap between the right to an abortion and the ability to access one.

Our team creates detailed itineraries for clients to reach, receive care, and safely return home from specialist providers in NY, MD, VA, NM, CO, and Washington, D.C. We also work in solidarity with organizations and individuals to meet needs that extend beyond our scope when and where possible.
