This summer, I am participating in a five-week bicycle tour from New Orleans to New York! The ride is from May 26 through July 1st. I will be riding with fifteen other reproductive justice activists from across the country! We will meet with organizers, activists, educators, and health care workers and work to raise awareness about the social justice and human rights work being done in this region of the country. Each day, we will ride about fifty miles, through small towns and large cities, and connect local issues with global struggles.

This ride is being organized by Nora Dye, an amazing woman who rode her bike solo from NY to California last summer and is doing it again. She has named this ride the Wanderlust With Rhonda tour. The Wanderlust team is also working with the Pro-Choice Public Education Project in New York City, the organization sponsoring the trip.

And, the most exciting aspect of this trip is that I will have the opportunity to share the Ancient Choices History Project with folks along the way! I'm looking forward to presenting the ancient history of contraception and abortion to others, and receiving feedback about how this project fits into a reproductive justice framework.

In order to do this trip, I need to raise $1,500 to cover food, lodging, bike equipment, and travel supplies. That’s where you come in! I hope you will consider making a donation, as it will go directly towards a great cause.

As a big ol' thank you for your donation, you will receive an Ancient Choices poster to celebrate women's choices and commemorate this trip!

Over the course of 35 days, we will ride from New Orleans to New York City through 13 states, 1600 miles, at 50 miles per day!

If you know of anyone we should talk to in any of the cities we will be passing through, please contact me at heather(at)heatherault(dot)org to let me know!
