Hope Fund: A Documentary Screening and Q&A Discussion

August 25th marks the anniversary of when Tennesseans lost their right to abortion in the state. This day also marks the anniversary of when Tennessee's two abortion funds - Abortion Care Tennessee and Mountain Access Brigade - announced their intent to merge to double their impact for Tennessee abortion-seekers, reclaiming this tragic date as one of empowerment and fortitude. We merged on the anniversary of when TN lost abortion rights as a way to say that abortion isn't going anywhere, and neither are we.

To tell the story of our merger, and to commemorate August 25th, we're hosting our first Knoxville showing of our documentary: Hope Fund.

Join us TUESDAY, AUGUST 25TH, from 6:30PM - 7:30PM ET at Central Cinema in Knoxville for a screening followed by a Q&A discussion.

Doors open at 6pm. The showing starts at 6:30pm (25 minutes), followed by a Q&A featuring TN Abortion Funds' Executive Director, Jules, and a member of the Knoxville Abortion Justice Alliance (KAJA).

Tickets will also be available at the door.

All proceeds from this screening go directly towards helping Tennesseans access out-of-state abortion care.

Hope Fund Description:

"Before there were clinics, there were communities. Black and brown doulas, midwives, and healers built systems of care long before any institution recognized the need, passing down knowledge, keeping each other alive, and laying the groundwork for what Reproductive Justice would eventually be named.

Hope Fund traces that lineage from its roots to the present day, following Abortion Care Tennessee and Mountain Access Brigade — two independent abortion funds that merged to meet a moment — as they reckon with broken systems, shifting laws, and the ongoing fight to keep abortion care alive in a state that once protected it.

From Tennessee's history as a sanctuary state to the 2014 constitutional shift that changed everything, from the Dobbs decision that sent shockwaves through an already fragile landscape to the maternal mortality crisis unfolding in real time, this film doesn't look away from how we got here.

Through the stories from people on the ground, like a board member who nearly died in childbirth and an Executive Director who believes this work can be joyful, bold, and even a little sexy, Hope Fund makes the case that Reproductive Justice isn't just survival. It's style, power, and community refusing to be miserable on anyone else's terms.

This is a love letter to the people doing the work. And a very clear message to everyone trying to stop them."
