What's New at Repro for All Toplines
Honoring Black History Month at Reproductive Freedom for All
Black women have historically led and continue to fight for our reproductive freedom
As the Trump administration tries to suppress learning about and recognizing Black history, we’ll celebrate Black History Month loudly and proudly—this month and always.
Honoring the contributions of Black communities in shaping reproductive freedom and our country is more important than ever.
HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
Historic Wins for Black Women in Government
For generations, Black women have been the backbone of political change—organizing, voting, and leading movements for justice. Yet, despite their influence, they have remained underrepresented in elected office.
Now, history is shifting and we’re thrilled to celebrate with two Black women serving together in the U.S. Senate for the first time ever.
Reproductive Freedom for All proudly endorsed reproductive freedom champions Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D–DE) in the 2024 Elections.
Voices of Power, Forces of Change
Black women are leading the fight for reproductive freedom—providing care, shaping policy, and sharing their stories to drive change. Every day, these leaders are working to protect the right to abortion and expand access for all.
We recognize leaders who unite, inspire, and empower us, including:
Dr. Raegan McDonald Mosley
CEO, Power to Decide
Dr. Jamila Perritt
President & CEO, Physicians for Reproductive Health
Jocelyn Frye
President, National Partnership for Women & Families
Black and Legendary Lawmakers
Despite being vastly underrepresented in elected office, Black women are leading the fight for reproductive rights, freedom, and justice across the country.
Their leadership is essential, paving the way for the next generation of Black leaders. We hope they inspire other Black leaders to run for office and continue the fight for equity and justice.
We recognize and celebrate these reproductive freedom champions:
- Jasmine Crockett, U.S. Representative for Texas District 30
- Nikema Williams, U.S. Representative for Georgia District 5
- Lateefah Simon, U.S. Representative for California District 12
- Lucy McBath, U.S. Representative for Georgia District 6
- Andrea Joy Campbell, Attorney General of Massachusetts
- Tish James, Attorney General of New York
- Juliana Stratton, Lt. Governor of Illinois
Representation Matters
We need more black women running for office and holding elected positions. To date, those who identify as Black women make up:
1%
of all federal elective executives
0.5%
of all members of Congress
0%
of all Governors

Rights Night: How Can We Help End the Black Maternal Health Crisis?
The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of all high income nations and Black women are dying at 3.5 times the rate than white women during and after childbirth. Yet the majority of maternal and infant deaths in the U.S. are preventable.
We recently hosted an important conversation about why Black maternal health is integral to reproductive freedom.

Words are Power: Black Art and Digital Activism
Art, love, and joy are necessary to resistance and have been a critical part of the Black community’s fight for civil rights. Part of our power lies in our creativity to envision the world we deserve, inspire other people through a different avenue, and adapt as digital activists.
Whether through painting, poetry, music, performance, or digital activism, art has shaped movements, empowered Black voices, and sparked conversations that lead to real world impact.
We hosted a virtual event to celebrate and honor the art of Black poets and artists who have used their work to drive their activism.
Special thanks to Artistic Director for Baltimore Center Stage Stevie Walker-Webb who joined us for this special event.
