Our Lives. Our Power.
The fight for Reproductive Justice demands our continued resistance.
Now more than ever, we must unite to protect and advance Reproductive Justice for Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people.
Donate now to power our resistance and protect our communities.
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.
A policy priority
issues like cost of living, housing, and combating racism are top of mind for Black women nationwide
Access-Driven Voting
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 Reproductive Justice champions ahead of their 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, LGBTQIA+ liberation, criminal justice reform, gun safety and so much more.
Building On Our Historic Wins
We celebrated historic wins in 2024. Our work continues as these Reproductive Justice Champions join us in defending against threats to our communities' rights and wellbeing.
