Power of Local Organizing: San Antonio Reproductive Justice Fund

How Community Advocacy is Transforming Reproductive Care Access

At Avow Texas, we believe in the power of community and grassroots advocacy to drive meaningful change. We’ve seen it firsthand in our journey to establish the San Antonio Reproductive Justice Fund — a milestone that showcases what local organizing can achieve. This fund is more than financial support; it’s a testament to the impact of community-driven initiatives and the power of everyday Texans to create change.

A Local Victory with Far-Reaching Impact

The Reproductive Justice Fund was born from the collective efforts of passionate advocates who understand the profound importance of reproductive care access. Our community mobilized to address pressing issues like complicated pregnancies, travel expenses for out-of-state abortions, access to emergency contraception and STI testing, and the need for sex education accessible to all Texans.

The fund’s establishment reflects our commitment to comprehensive care and the removal of systemic barriers that hinder access to vital reproductive services.

From Conversations to Action

At Avow Texas, our journey began with conversations—dialogue that shifted hearts and minds within our community. We listened to our neighbors’ concerns, debunked myths, and emphasized the significance of reproductive rights. It was through these conversations that we realized local voices can create powerful change.

A Blueprint for Progress

The Reproductive Justice Fund isn’t just a local victory — it’s a blueprint for progress. It demonstrates that when communities unite, organize, and advocate, they can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. It’s a reminder that change happens from the ground up. From the bottom to the top, we are going to build the state we deserve.

FIGHT THE TEXAS ABORTION BAN

SB 8 bans abortion as early as 6 weeks and puts a $10,000 bounty on anyone who helps someone get abortion care. Now more than ever, we need unapologetic abortion rights advocates to lay the groundwork to defeat anti-abortion lawmakers.

Chip in to organize Texans to restore abortion access in our state. The organizing we do today determines the gains we make in 2022.
