We’re growing a grassroots community for reproductive justice in Whatcom County.
Everyone deserves the power, freedom, and support to make their own choices about their bodies and their futures.
We help people get abortions, share reproductive health info and supplies, take action for reproductive justice, and build power with working people, especially single moms, young people, and folks targeted by the family policing system.
What is reproductive justice?
Reproductive justice means having control over our own bodies and lives, having the freedom to make the decisions that are best for ourselves and our families, and having the resources and support we need to thrive. SisterSong defines reproductive justice as, “the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities.”
What is the family policing system?
The family policing system (also known as the child welfare system) is a government system that monitors, investigates, and often separates families, especially poor families and families of color, under the claim of protecting children. Instead of providing real support, it often punishes families for struggling with poverty or other challenges, using surveillance and removal rather than care.
WHAT WE DO
All-Options Counseling
We provide judgment-free support to talk about your options if you’re pregnant, or any feelings coming up before or after an abortion.
Abortion Access
We can help you figure out where to get an abortion, how to get abortion pills, and how to pay for your abortion.
Abortion Accompaniment
We can be with you during your abortion in a clinic or at home or help prepare your friend or partner to support you.
Practical Support
We can help with transportation, childcare, meals, or other logistics when funds are available so you can focus on taking care of yourself during an abortion, at court, or dealing with a crisis.
Sexual Health Kits
We table at community events to share free zines and sexual health kits (condoms, Plan B, pregnancy test strips).
Childcare Collective
We are envisioning a childcare collective that could help make community and social justice spaces accessible and welcoming for everyone, including kids, families, and working parents.
Building Family Power
We’re growing a network of single parents, working families, and young people to build community and build power together.
Community Learning
We provide workshops and training on topics like: self managed abortion, abortion support skills, reproductive justice in action, the family policing system, and more.
Community Organizing
We’re advocating for childcare, access to abortion, affordable housing, healthcare, workers rights, and an end to the family policing system so we can all thrive.
