Quote: I do this work because I believe every person deserves reproductive autonomy free from state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. To that end, I imagine a world that nurtures and cares for Black pregnant people by responding to their maternal health problems with care-based solutions, not punitive policies and practices.
It is with heavy hearts that we share an important update with you regarding the future of Reproductive Health Impact: The Collaborative for Equity & Justice (RH Impact).
After careful consideration and an exhaustive search for viable alternatives, the Executive Leadership of RH Impact, along with its fiscal sponsor The Praxis Project, Inc., have made the very difficult decision to close the organization and cease operations due to insufficient unrestricted funding to support general operations—including staff salaries.
As a result, RHI’s final day of operations will officially be July 31, 2024.
