ADVOCATING FOR REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE

In June 2022, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v Wade, protecting the constitutional right to abortion for half a century. Since that decision, reproductive rights have been challenged across the country and deeply eroded in many states.
The states with limited abortion access have higher rates of maternal and infant death, living with greater economic insecurity than women in states where abortion is protected.
Virginia is a safe haven for thousands of women seeking access to needed and safe reproductive healthcare.
Let's keep it that way!

Started by a small group of women in Southwest Virginia. Our mission is to increase public awareness about reproductive justice issues and to mobilize in support of the Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom that will be on the ballot in November 2026.
Since 2024, we have hosted many public forums, participated ed in rallies and community meetings, given talks to and with students, tracked the progress of the legislators who voted for the amendment.
We collaborate closely with the statewide coalition, Virginians for Reproductive Freedom, who are overseeing the state campaign to pass the amendment.
We also partner with many local community groups to get out the message and to strengthen our regional coalition in Southwest Virginia.
