Leadership Development

For us to get free, we have to develop the next generation of reproductive justice leaders. We’ve been doing that by continuing to cultivate volunteers and Errin J. Vuley fellows who complete reproductive justice projects at the intersection of race and gender. In 2021-2023, we cultivated over 20 Errin J. Vuley fellows, 300 volunteers, and trained 2 cohorts of clinic escorts. In addition to that work, we have continued to invest in our staff and existing volunteer base by developing new programs and initiatives to harness our broad skill sets.
