Black Reproductive Justice Organization Announces Federal Candidate Endorsements Ahead of Consequential U.S. Election in November

In Our Own Voice Action Fund endorses a slate of pro-Reproductive Justice candidates across Maryland, Oregon, Delaware, and California as part of its efforts to advance intersectional policy solutions prioritizing the unique health and wellness needs of Black women.   

August 29, 2024 — Today, In Our Own Voice Action Fund, the first and only national action fund dedicated to advancing Reproductive Justice for Black women, announced its first slate of federal candidate endorsements ahead of the upcoming U.S. election in November. These endorsements arrive on the heels of last week’s Democratic National Convention, which heavily focused on advancing reproductive equity in wake of the 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade for millions of Americans.

The full list of endorsed candidates can be found on the In Our Own Voice Action Fund website and listed below:

“In Our Own Voice Action Fund deeply understands the importance of electing candidates committed to advancing Reproductive Justice for Black women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals, which is why we were one of the first groups to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris – a leading repro voice in the Biden Administration – when she initially announced her candidacy in July, ” said Regina Davis Moss, president and CEO of In Our Own Voice Action Fund. “The fight for reproductive liberation is an ongoing battle that is not only won at the national level, but also in states, where local policymakers can critically impact the health, rights, and lives of Black women and their families. In Our Own Voice Action Fund is proud to meet this moment by endorsing four Reproductive Justice champions that will ensure all women can regain control over their reproductive decision-making.” 

As Black women continue to face perpetual state, local, and federal attacks on their basic civil and human rights, In Our Own Voice Action Fund launched in August 2024 to support candidates committed to addressing key Reproductive Justice issues, including voting rights, economic equity, criminal justice reform and more. In addition to these endorsements, the action fund is preparing to launch a national speakers series to educate voters on the importance of a holistic Reproductive Justice agenda that digs into not only if, when and how Black women expand their families, but ensuring Black women have access to resources and opportunities that support them in leading healthy and thriving lives.
