Journey of the
Red Tent Fund
After the tragic events of October 7th, many abortion organizations refused to acknowledge the atrocities and sexual violence against Jews and made Jews feel that they had to pick between their Jewish identity and their support for reproductive rights.
This false choice created a disconnect for many Jewish supporters of abortion funds. It was clear that there needed to be a space where people could support abortion without fear or ostracization because of other beliefs they held unrelated to abortion.
From there, the Red Tent Fund was created.
Guided by Jewish Values,
Driven by Universal Compassion
-
This work is guided by our Jewish values and the Jewish laws and teachings that affirm the right to abortion. These values include tikkun olam (repairing the world); compassion and empathy; and a commitment to human dignity.
-
For Jewish people, reproductive rights and our religious freedom are inexorably linked.
-
Judaism affirms the right to access safe abortion care as essential health care - for everyone. The Red Tent Fund provides a dedicated space for abortion supporters and seekers - Jews and non-Jews alike - who affirm that abortion is a reproductive right and a Jewish religious freedom.
-
We approach reproductive health care with compassion and without stigma or judgment, treating every person with empathy and respect.
-
We trust individuals to make decisions about their own health and well-being, and we're committed to ensuring they have the freedom and resources to do so.
-
We welcome a diversity of opinions and experiences under the Tent and value the Jewish commitment to discourse and debate. We recognize the strength that comes from engaging with a wide range of viewpoints and believe that real learning happens through fostering open, respectful dialogue and debate.
-
As an organization, we will not comment on political, military, and diplomatic developments here or abroad so that we may stay focused on our primary mission of funding abortions in the United States. By staying true to our core purpose, we can make the greatest impact in the lives of those we serve.
At the Red Tent Fund, we are bold and unapologetic in our belief that reproductive freedom is a fundamental right, inextricably linked to religious liberty.
The Red Tent Fund provides a dedicated space for abortion supporters and seekers - Jews and non-Jews alike - who share this belief. We provide financial assistance for abortion services with empathy and without judgment. In a world where reproductive rights are under threat, we remain unwavering in our commitment to funding abortions and advancing abortion access.
