Bumble Inc. was built on a foundation of gender equality. True freedom and equality are impossible without access to abortion and other essential reproductive healthcare services. That’s why we are proud to support the new documentary, Zurawski v Texas. Produced by HiddenLight Productions, Story Force Entertainment, and Out of Nowhere, and directed by Abbie Perrault and Maisie Crow, the film is named after the landmark 2023 Texas case, Zurawski v Texas, and tells the powerful stories of three women who, after facing severe and dangerous pregnancy complications, were denied emergency medical care due to Texas' restrictive abortion laws. Last fall, Bumble was proud to be the first business to sign on to an amicus brief in the Zurawski v Texas case. The brief highlighted how restrictions to abortion can create significant challenges in retaining and attracting talent, ultimately hurting both business growth and the broader economy. Having learned of the work the directors and producers had done to tell the urgent and moving stories of the plaintiffs and their families, we immediately committed our support to helping them get this critical work out beyond the courtroom and into the world. As reproductive rights take center stage ahead of the U.S. November election, it is more important than ever to amplify these crucial stories. We hope this film fosters a deeper understanding of how abortion bans affect families across the country, and the important role of access to reproductive healthcare. To help spread the word, we’re teaming up with the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to offer complimentary screenings in key U.S. cities — join us here: https://lnkd.in/gprNKpRA Whether it’s championing women's access to abortion or supporting our employees’ reproductive journeys with dedicated benefits, Bumble Inc. will remain a vocal advocate for reproductive rights. Because we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right. #AbortionIsHealthcare #zurawskivtexas
