Our Mission
The Repeal Hyde Art Project raises awareness and creates dialogue about the Hyde Amendment, which blocks people from using Medicaid to pay for abortions. The Project accomplishes its mission through collaborative arts and shareable graphic content. It is a colorful, optimistic, and interactive response to Hyde that reflects the self-determination of the people who have overcome barriers and the hope for change. We also recognize that the Hyde Amendment has a disproportionate impact on women of color and exists within an multi-layered, oppressive environment. We strive to create intersectional dialogue that links abortion access to other related issues: a dialogue which reflects the complex realities of our lives. We are strong and we fly together. The more we share the birds and the message, the more we raise awareness, and the more we can push for change.
