Join the National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice!
Attempts to undermine the right to reproductive and bodily autonomy are an attack on all people’s lives and healthcare needs. The National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice and its affiliates across the country are building a grassroots coalition of organizations and individuals to resist these right-wing political assaults. Help build this effort, participate in ongoing reproductive justice actions, and spread the word!
Read the National Mobilization's statement condemning the April 7 Texas ruling against the abortion pill.
What we call for:
• Restore & expand Roe v. Wade;
safe, legal abortion on demand without apology
• Repeal the Hyde Amendment
• Overturn state barriers to reproductive choices
• Stop forced sterilization
• No to caged kids, forced assimilation, & child welfare abuses
• End medical & environmental racism; for universal healthcare
• Defend queer & trans families; guarantee gender-affirming care
• Ensure medically sound sex education & affordable childcare
• Sexual self-determination for people with disabilities
• Uphold social progress with expanded voting rights & strong unions
