If you’re just hearing about Choice: Texas for the first time, here’s a little info:

Choice: Texas is an educational interactive fiction game which will be freely available on the web. Players will explore the game through one of several characters, each of whom reflects specific socioeconomic, geographic, and demographic factors impacting abortion access in Texas. Although billed as interactive fiction, Choice: Texas is based on extensive research into healthcare access, legal restrictions, geography, and demographics, and is reflective of the real circumstances facing women in the state.

Choice: Texas is being developed by Allyson Whipple (writer, editor, and poet) and Carly Kocurek (writer and cultural historian) with the help of illustrator Grace Jennings.

For everyone: We’re so excited to announce that, as of last night, we have hit our initial fundraising goal of $9,250! This is going to allow us to produce a professionally designed and illustrated version of Choice: Texas free on the web, and it’s also ensured that we’re able to promote the game in person – we’re already schedule to present Choice: Texas at two conferences, and we’ll be looking into future opportunities as well.

We are also excited to announce that, with 6 days to go, we are adding a stretch goal of $10,500. If we reach this level, we’ll be working with an established sex educator to produce a collection of lesson plans for high school and college teachers interested in using Choice: Texas in the classroom. These lesson plans will be included as part of the Choice: Texas site and will be freely available for anyone who wants to use them. We have just six days to go, so please spread the word! And, as always, thank you for all the incredible support so far. Choice: Texas wouldn’t be possible without you.

We have just 6 days remaining, so please help us by reblogging and passing along word. Also, if you’ve been waiting to contribute, there’s no time line the present.
