Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan

Reproductive Freedom For All state chapters build grassroots and political power to engage and mobilize communities, lobby state lawmakers, and advocate for reproductive freedom.

In Michigan, we are fighting to protect and expand reproductive freedom, including abortion care, birth control, gender-affirming care, paid family leave, and protections from pregnancy discrimination.

As a stronghold for reproductive freedom in the Midwest, we have the power and responsibility to keep defending abortion access in our state and protect those who travel here to receive care.
