We at Aradia Fitness believe that every human being should have equal rights – be that who one loves, which religion one chooses, or what they choose to do with their life (so long as it does not encroach on the health, safety, or well-being of others around them).

The recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs Wade has many in our country reeling in disbelief. While we strive to keep our studio free from the messiness of politics, we firmly believe that basic human rights are not something that is political or debatable. And that belief is inherent to the core of who we are and what we do – to provide a safe, diverse, and empowering environment for persons from all walks of life to feel Strong, Fit, Confident with Aradia Fitness.

There are a billion different ways to make a difference, support a social movement, or take a stance  There are also dozens of incredible organizations that are doing their good work and in need of financial support. Studio co-owner Dakota Fox found it was hard to choose just one organization to support (for now) but she wanted to do something in this moment to protest this violation of womxn’s rights.

Dakota created a doodle (shown below) and has made this design available on BONIFIRE.COM for t-shirt printing as a fundraiser. You can select your shirt style & color, place an order, and have the shirt mailed to you. After production costs, Bonfire is going to send 100% of the order profits directly to @reprorights (the Center for Reproductive Rights). Shirts are $30 each and minus production costs, credit card processing fees, etc… that’s an average of $8-$10 per shirt going to the fundraiser!

 

Our goal is to sell 200 shirts within 10 days. Can you help make that happen? If you aren’t interested in a t-shirt, you can donate  directly to their organization via their website. You can also share this post or help spread awareness of what the overturning of #RoeVsWade means for the future of #WomensRights

Aradia Fitness is also planning a morning of fundraiser classes on Monday July 4, 2022! Donate to the Center for Reproductive Rights (or other similar organization), bring your receipt, and it will serve as your ticket to attend any of the 30-minute classes we’ll be offering that day. Even more, the instructors teaching will be donating their instructor pay for the day as part of the fundraising effort too. Stay tuned for our Facebook evite coming soon.

As always, we value & cherish our community and family at Aradia Fitness. You are why we do what we do… and we are always here for you, should you need it.
