ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE (ACCESS RJ) funds abortion in California.

Vision

Excerpt from the ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE website:

"At ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE, we envision a future where all people in California have the freedom and resources necessary to make empowered and dignified decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, including the decision to have an abortion, without shame or stigma and regardless of their race, religion, immigration or economic status. We are building a future where Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and queer communities trust themselves; are trusted; and have the social, political, and economic power to sustain their communities and to build the families they desire – chosen and biological."

Love Letter to Abortion Providers

ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE was a signatory on an open letter posted by the Abortion Care Network's Nikki Madsen and Erin Grant posted at Ms. titled: "A Love Letter to Abortion Providers: We Appreciate You—Today and Every Day" dated March 10, 2023. Excerpt:,

"In honor of Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, March 10, Abortion Care Network has authored a love letter to abortion providers. The letter was signed by 112 abortion rights organizations wishing to express their deep gratitude for abortion providers, who have worked to make abortion and reproductive healthcare access a reality for people across the country despite unending obstacles.

On the first Abortion Provider Appreciation Day since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, it is more important than ever to honor the heroic efforts of abortion providers fighting to give agency and autonomy to people in their communities.
