Crypto Altruism Monthly Recap - June
What’s happening in web3 in July?
The web3 community responds to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court
On June 24th, in a devastating blow to women’s rights, the US Supreme Court struck down 50 years of precedent established in Roe V. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. As a result, it is likely that about half of US states will ban abortion, impacting the lives of millions of women, and their right to choose what to do with their bodies.
In this blog post, we highlight some of the ways the web3 community has responded, including raising funds to support organizations fighting for reproductive rights, and providing a space for communities to organize.
