Today, we are thrilled to announce our new Reproductive Justice Activists (RJA) program along with the opening of the online application for the inaugural cohort. 

Through our Girls of Color Fund, we seek to center the voices and leadership of young women, non-binary youth, and allies in an effort to imagine and create a society free from all forms of reproductive oppression. Over a ten month period, Reproductive Justice Activists will work closely with our Foundation team in identifying ways for us to build a strategy around Reproductive Justice advocacy.

Activists will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the history of Reproductive Justice (RJ), current local and/or national issues, and advocacy efforts 
• Connect and build relationships with the larger RJ community
• Develop their organizing and activism skills
• Receive a $1500 stipend
