Reproductive Justice is on the ballot in 2024
Your votes give politicians their jobs. Join us as an RJ Champion.
Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people are the largest voting constituency in the American electorate.
Centering Black women through policy is a winning strategy nationwide. In Our Own Voice Action Fund is calling for candidates who will make Black women, girls, and gender expansive people’s health, safety and well-being a priority.
In 2024
issues like cost of living, housing, and combating racism are top of mind for Black women nationwide
Is 6x
Additionally, Black voters are 6 times more likely to vote for a candidate who supports abortion access than one who opposes it.
We’re proud to endorse these Reproductive Justice champions ahead of their 2024 elections.
Their policy platforms center the intersectional impact of race and gender in the ability to live free from oppression. Endorsed candidates appreciate the interconnectedness of identity as it impacts issues such as the maternal health crisis, voting rights, economic justice, LGBTQ+ liberation, criminal justice reform, gun safety and so much more.
