Systems Change Spotlight: New Voices for Reproductive Justice

New Voices for Reproductive Justice is building power for, and alongside, Black women, Black queer folks, and Black marginalized communities throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Through leadership development, community care, resourcing, and mutual aid, they meet the expressed and unexpressed needs of Black mothers, caregivers, elders, trans folk, and youth by equipping them with the tools and community to become Reproductive Justice changemakers in their neighborhoods.

They build solidarity by collaborating across movement, city, and state lines to demand equitable living conditions for Black communities — in medical care, housing, food, water, air quality, bodily autonomy, and more.

Their vision is a not-too-distant future where everyone has access to safe, equitable, and joyous communities, through the liberation of the most marginalized among us.
