Executive Director, New Voices for Reproductive Justice
About New Voices for Reproductive Justice
New Voices for Reproductive Justice is unapologetically Black and queer and dedicated to the work of Reproductive Justice, a framework created and built specifically for Black women, girls, femmes, and gender-expansive folx. New Voices was founded in March 2004 and currently operates across Pennsylvania and Ohio with offices in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Inspired by the leaders who have shaped our movement, New Voices for Reproductive Justice envisions being part of a powerful, intersectional network and social justice movement based in the human right to control our bodies, sexualities, gender identities and expressions, work, reproduction, and the ability to form our families on our own timelines, and the ability to do these things in safe, inclusive, accessible environments. Utilizing our three core strategies; voter engagement, community organizing, and policy & advocacy, New Voices is fighting for a liberated world where Black women, girls, gender-expansive folx, and their families can live lives devoid of violence and have all of their health and well-being needs met.
