Reproductive Freedom for All

Overview

Mission

Reproductive freedom for all's mission is to develop and sustain a constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion.

What it reported doing in 2023

Communications: our organizing program goes hand-in-hand with our robust communications, digital, and research programs, which we leverage to drive the national narrative around abortion across the country, lift up champions for reproductive freedom and highlight the voices of marginalized groups and those disproportionately impacted by restrictions. We use reproductive freedom for all's innovative, sophisticated, and data-driven message research program-based in cognitive and behavioral science-to effectively communicate with the 8 in 10 americans who believe abortion should be legal, reaching them using channels and messengers that they trust, while countering anti-choice attacks and disinformation. We monitor and track media coverage, work directly with the press to shape the narrative, share research and stories, and publish op-eds, all while educating and mobilizing millions of people through our digital program for policies that protect and expand reproductive freedom.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
