Overview

Mission

We demand health, dignity, and justice for our communities. We center and amplify Latine voices as we work to transform oppressive systems and narratives and to reclaim control over our bodies and lives. We build power by organizing our activist base; shaping and advocating for policy change; and shifting culture to achieve Reproductive Justice.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community base building: we are committed to build community power by investing and advancing the leadership development of our activist base, the poderosas. The cornerstone of our relational organizing efforts - the poderosas mountain - starts with tapping the interest of our community through our community education, civic and voter engagement, advocacy and non-violent actions and mobilization efforts; and in our core states, walks with them through intensive transformational reproductive justice and political education trainings that build on their own personal power and consciousness. We help co-create brave and supportive spaces that harness collective power in efforts to build a more just world.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
