<p>When we founded A Is For, we envisioned people from all walks of life: men, women, gay, straight, trans, religious, and atheist standing together to show the world that women&rsquo;s rights are human rights. Now, just a few months later, we see that happening before our eyes in our A Is For launch video. People--both familiar and new--are wearing the scarlet A, standing up for reproductive rights, and telling the world what their A stands for. There&rsquo;s some funny shit in there, too. </p>

<p>As each person tells the camera what their A stands for, the common bond between them becomes apparent: when the rights to one's own physical autonomy and self determination come under attack, everyone has an obligation to stand up and speak out. Because if you think it can&rsquo;t happen to you, you&rsquo;re sadly mistaken. </p>

<p>This project doesn&rsquo;t end after Election Day; it will continue until women&rsquo;s reproductive choices are no longer held hostage by the agendas of politicians and churches. We&rsquo;re in this for long haul and we&rsquo;d love for you to join us. To find out how to get your own A ribbon, and to become a part of this project, please visit <a href="http://www.aisfor.org/donate">A is For</a>. </p>

<p>A is For all of us.</p>]]></content:encoded>
