Overview

Mission

The national institute for reproductive health action fund conducts non-partisan issue advocacy and electoral engagement to advance reproductive health, rights, and justice in states and cities across the country. Nirh action fund builds political power at the local and state level to advance reproductive freedom. We work on a full range of reproductive health care issues - among them, access to abortion, contraception, and healthy pregnancies - to ensure that all women have access to the highest quality reproductive health care, when and where they need it. We don't just push back against restrictions on abortion and contraception; we fight for a society in which everyone has the freedom and ability to control their reproductive and sexual lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

We work directly in New York and in partnership with advocates in other states to secure reproductive freedom. By building power in cities and states across the country, supporting advocates and policymakers who are working to protect and expand our freedoms, and educating and engaging the public, we seek to pass proactive policies and ensure they are enforced. In 2023, we focused our efforts on expanding access to abortion and contraceptionincluding through passage of policies expanding coverage for abortion care, such as municipal and state fundingas well working to secure birth justice and to expand access to comprehensive sex education. To support these efforts, we worked directly with legislators and other policymakers, engaged members of the public (including by facilitating efforts to speak with their legislators on these issues), trained advocates and policymakers, created tools and resources for use by advocates, and did media outreach.
