You're invited: Contribute to the All-Options Community Cookbook!

A call for recipes, all skill levels welcome

Calling all home cooks/bakers, it’s your time to shine - we’re making a digital community cookbook to raise money for All-Options!

Details:

• Anyone can submit a recipe, of any type of food (it’s not just baking)! Your grandma’s fudge. Your weeknight pasta that somehow always hits. Your favorite puppy chow. Your friend's dad's chili. It doesn’t need to be fancy or professional, just something you love and want to share. All skill levels welcome!

• That being said, we do have some amazing profesh contributions already confirmed! A big thank you to Bronwen Wyatt, Erin Clarkson, Kylie Mazon-Chambers, and Erin Jeanne McDowell among others not on Substack! If anyone has a line to Martha Stewart, let me know.

• Recipes should be original or meaningfully adapted (think handwritten index cards passed down in your family or that risotto you made up that’s sitting in your notes app), please don’t submit someone else’s published recipe without permission or adaptation!

• Bonus: Dedicate your contribution to someone! I’m dedicating mine to my grandma, Dolores, who recently passed. Her life was really hard, and it motivates me to do this work.

• Once all the recipes are in, I’ll compile them. You can then secure your copy by making a minimum $25 donation directly to All-Options - there will be a specific donation link that I’ll send out in a future email.

• Submit your recipes here by Monday, April 21st! It’s a Google form.

I’m so excited to see what y’all come up with! And I’m really grateful (in advance) for your delicious contributions. I also need your help getting the word out - here’s an easy link to share https://bit.ly/all-options-recipes

About All-Options

All-Options uses direct service and social change strategies to promote unconditional, judgment-free support for people in all of their decisions, feelings, and experiences with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption. They imagine a future where all people are supported in making the reproductive decisions that are best for their lives, without coercion or limitation, and where the dignity of lived experiences is affirmed and honored. They center those most impacted by reproductive injustices in their programs, movement-building work, and investment in social change issues. This means centering people who are trans and gender expansive, women of color, youth, people living in poverty, immigrants and people who are undocumented, non-English speakers, people with disabilities, queer and LGBTQIA people, and people living at the intersections of all of these.

What they do:

• The All-Options Talkline offers free peer counseling to callers from anywhere in the US or Canada. Simply call 1-888-493-0092 for open-hearted support regarding abortion, adoption, infertility, parenting, and pregnancy loss. The All-Options Talkline is a place where all options, decisions, experiences, and feelings are welcomed and respected, at any point in your journey

• The Faith Aloud clergy counseling line offers spiritual and religious support through abortion or pregnancy experiences. Trained clergy from diverse faith background are available at 1-888-717-5010.

• Their Pregnancy Options Workshops support providers, advocates, and students in exploring their values, unpacking biases, and building skills for judgment-free counseling and all-options referrals.

• The All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center provides free pregnancy tests, peer counseling, condoms, diapers, baby clothes, abortion funding, and referrals to all kinds of local resources in Bloomington, Indiana.

For some perspective: there are over 3,000 fake clinics (crisis pregnancy centers) in the US. There is only one All-Options. Let’s show up for them!

Love,

Becca
