Legislative Advocacy

The past few years have been a whirlwind for our advocacy program. We have spent much of our time anticipating the Dobbs v Jackson decision overturning 50 years of legal precedent and responding to its aftermath. We have also continued our usual proactive policy work to mobilizes for change that moves beyond the status quo Roe v Wade established. As part of this work we saw a huge upswell of support from seasoned and new advocates who are eager to support the movement for reproductive justice. In 2021-2023 we successfully harnessed this wave of support by growing our program. In 2021-2023, we provided over 74 workshops on advocacy issues, including leading sessions as part of the National Operation Save Abortion campaign which sought to skill-up activists across the country on our post-Roe reality and move our strategies to see #BeyondRoe. This campaign culminated in Georgia-specific efforts to pass the Reproductive Freedom Act (RFA), which would repeal Georgia’s abortion restrictions and expand access to care.
