Areas of Work

Strengthening Access to Care

We strengthen pathways to care through education, training, research, and cross-border alliances, focusing on community-driven leadership, capacity building, stigma-reduction of abortion, safety, and agency.

Stigma Reduction

Our work normalizes and expands access to abortion by strengthening local networks and equipping allied movement partners. By resourcing and strengthening community-based efforts, we support partners to deliver accurate information, compassionate support, and stigma-free care.

Global Movement Bridging

We strengthen cross-border and regional movement capacity and resilience by expanding intentional opportunities for shared learning, coordination, and strategic collaboration. Through these efforts, we bring global insights to inform U.S. strategies and ensure that U.S. experiences contribute to shared movement learning, strengthening collective power and resistance. colaborations

Policy Advocacy

In partnership with local and national organizations, we pass local measures rooted in Human Rights, including resolutions, proclamations, and ordinances, with the goal of advancing policy change to protect and expand access to abortion care. We document human rights violations and report them to Human Rights organizations to inform policymaking and international oversight.
