John, At NIRH, we have a vision: a society where each person has the freedom and ability to control their reproductive and sexual lives, families can thrive, and abortion and contraception are destigmatized. And we’re not alone: we know that the majority of people living in this country, including allies like you, want the same things. Day in and day out, NIRH works to pass progressive policies that plant the seeds of reproductive health, rights, and justice at the state and local levels -- where long-lasting change happens from the ground up. By working with local partners, we center the experiences of those often left out of the national conversation – and who have long led the movement through difficult times and amazing wins. It’s our job to bolster their campaigns, lending our time, expertise, and funds to advance a more just and equitable future. And you can help. From California to Connecticut and the states in between, NIRH is collaborating with community organizations and advocates to take bold, progressive action. The results? This year, California approved $7.5 million in the state budget allocated for reparations to the hundreds of survivors of state-sponsored forced sterilization. Connecticut passed a bill to address racial and economic disparities in health care laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a provision that will expand access to doula care for all birthing residents. And advocates in Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Tennessee are continuing to push hard for policy changes that will help eliminate this country’s shameful racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. Your support is a key part of these wins. Together, we can fight to ensure every single person across the country can control their reproductive and sexual lives, choose whether and when to become parents, and get the support they need to raise their families.
