The Louisiana Abortion Fund (formerly the New Orleans Abortion Fund) is a community fund that assists community members as they overcome the economic and geographic barriers erected to prevent them from accessing abortion care. By providing low-barrier financial support for abortions, plus support for travel and childcare, LAAF invests in the liberation of all Louisianans. LAAF works to center Black people, Indigenous communities, people of color, queer folks, and immigrants, because when society’s most marginalized are free, all be free.

Luna Malbroux, Founder and Chief Vibe Officer of Joy Channel is an experienced facilitator, educator and leader on creating inclusive spaces, Luna is most notably, a self-described ‘joy evangelist’, who believes that fostering belonging, communication, connection and fun (yes, fun!), is the missing link in many approaches to diversity, equity, justice and inclusion initiatives. A skilled storyteller, her practices include using empathy, humor, and personal narrative to help build group dynamics and consensus. Luna has years of experience guiding small to large national organizations in building more authentic inclusivity to cater to the needs of elected members and clients.

She is also an award winning comedian, writer, musician and public intellect whose work has been featured in KQED, NPR, The Atlantic, PBS, Glamour magazine, and more.  She loves jamming as a member of her band, The Moon and The Man, and most proud of her special abilities to make a hearty pot of gumbo, appropriately initiate a slow clap that erupts into a round of applause, and persistence in roller skating even though she always falls down.
