Family Tree Clinic was featured in an article from the Minnesota Daily for the efforts of our incredible Minnesota S*xual Health Hotline staff in helping to fill the need for safer s*x supplies amid Operation Metro Surge.

Lucia Frias-Wackman recognized that other needs, such as food, water, and shelter often come first during incredibly hard times. We recognized that safer s*x supplies are also a need and wanted to help fill that gap that may not be at the forefront of people's minds.

Her colleague, Rebecca Driker-Ohren, offers another reason residents may have faced barriers to s*xual health during the height of Operation Metro Surge.

"If someone [sheltering for safety] has to go one step further than their food pantry to get birth control, they can't do it," Driker-Ohren said. "It's inaccessible."

Come celebrate Black joy with us this Friday!

This week, April 11- 17, is Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW). Founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Black Maternal Health week amplifies the voices of Black Mamas and birthing folks by centering the values and traditions of the reproductive birth justice movements. This year's theme is "Rooted in Joy and Justice" - affirming that equity and celebration are both essential to Black Maternal Health.

In celebration, join us this Friday, April 17th from 5 - 7 p.m. for Create the Village, our monthly Sip & Paint at Family Tree Clinic for parents and trusted adults of Black children, created by and for Black communities.

Enjoy a free meal, childcare, and Lyft rides as we build connection, healing, and joy together.

This is a space to ask questions that we're not sure how to say out loud, share stories and ideas on modeling values with the kids in our lives, and build relationships with other adults who are also having these talks.

It's also a place to have fun.

RSVP today by visiting bit.ly/CreatetheVillage2026 or by emailing racha@familytreeclinic.org.

For Trans Day of Visibility this year, we wanted to share some love notes for Trans youth. This is part of a project organized by Chandler (he/him), one of our incredible S*x Educators and Clinic Health Mentors who takes courage from the DIY brilliance of Trans people everywhere.

Here is just a small selection of the notes shared by people visiting our lobby - that is, YOUR community. We hope next time you visit, you feel inspired to leave or take a note yourself.

To Trans youth: you are loved. And for our wider Trans communities everywhere: Family Tree is here for you today and everyday.

Applications are now open for Family Tree's KiSS program!

KiSS (Keeping it Safe and S*xy) is a 5-week summer program for LGBTQIA+ teens and allies to train as peer s*x educators. Participants will learn about a new topic each day like anatomy, s*xual orientation, gender, birth control, reproductive justice, and more!

Here's what one parent of a KiSS participant had to say about their teen's experience:

"KiSS was my kiddo's first paid “job”... I would highly recommend this program to families looking for opportunities to support the development of their teen's identity formation, leadership skills, and emotional well-being."

Participants also have the opportunity to earn money and build community connections. KiSS is FREE to join and Family Tree will provide meals, bus fare, and all materials.

We were grateful to stand with advocates across Minnesota at Reproductive Freedom Lobby Day on Monday.

Family Tree Clinic is a proud founding member of the UnRestrict Minnesota coalition: fighting to protect, expand, and destigmatize abortion care and all reproductive health care in our state.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for what matters: expanding access and protecting bodily autonomy. Our Executive Director, Annie Van Avery, spoke at the rally and reminded us that our lived experiences guide the way forward - and that real power comes from showing up together in community.

At Family Tree Clinic, we'll keep fighting for s*xual, reproductive, and gender affirming care and health education that is accessible, affirming, and rooted in community. We'll keep fighting for healthcare for all. No exceptions. Because all of our fights are interconnected. And so are the solutions.

Keep showing up. Keep caring for yourselves and each other.
