Shots Fired at KBFPC Clinic – Stand With Them and Double Your Impact”

Friends,

At Identity, we are both deeply saddened and angered by the recent attack on Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic. When a place dedicated to health, support, and education becomes the target of violence, it threatens not only that space but the entire fabric of our community. This was not just an attack on a building—it was an attack on the right to compassionate, inclusive care, and on those who courageously deliver that care.

To deny healthcare services through intimidation is to deny people their dignity, their autonomy, and their hope for a healthy life. Clinics like Kachemak Bay Family Planning are vital to the well-being of our community, providing essential services ranging from gender-affirming care to cancer screenings, birth control, and counseling. They stand as pillars of support, ensuring that women, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, and communities of color have access to the care they need to lead full and authentic lives. This mission is not simply admirable; it is essential.

In the face of this senseless act, we must remember that strength is built through connection, resilience, and action. Communities are strongest when they stand together, and we have an opportunity to demonstrate that support tangibly. Right now, thanks to a private donor arranged by Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, every dollar donated to their clinic will be matched up to $30,000, doubling the impact of each contribution. We urge everyone who believes in a fair, compassionate healthcare system to contribute at kbfpc.org/donate and help them reach this matching goal.

As an act of solidarity, we’re offering a special thank-you: anyone who donates to Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic and hasn’t yet purchased a ticket for Identity’s Gayla on the 16th can enjoy 50% off with the code “KBFPCSolidarity!”. This is our way of honoring your commitment to community, compassion, and health equity.

Let’s transform our outrage into action, our grief into resilience, and our solidarity into lasting support. Together, we can make sure Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic not only recovers from this attack but continues to thrive in its mission of providing essential care.

In Solidarity,

Tom Pittman, Executive Director
