Do you know someone who…
The Reproductive Justice team is currently seeking to identify local community organizations that are working on reproductive justice. We want to determine if they are potential partners for First UU and the assets we have to offer. Wherever possible, we prefer to work through known contacts, so that we can build on the trust and credibility that may already exist between members of the congregation and these community organization.
Do you know anyone—or know someone that knows someone—who works in one of the organizations listed below? Or, do you know someone in an organization not listed that might be a good partner in the work for Reproductive Justice? Note: a few of these we do have contacts, but we still include them in case there are church members or friends who might also be acquainted with the group, that we on the Repro Justice team don’t know about.
Lilith Fund (Central Texas area)
Texas Equal Access Fund (North Texas and statewide)
Buckle Bunnies Fund (San Antonio area)
Frontera Fund (Rio Grande Valley)
National Network of Abortion Funds (supports local funds such as Lilith, Buckle Bunnies, etc.)
The Bridge Collective—providing Plan B kits now to the church for distribution
Other independent abortion clinics still in operation providing non-abortion repro healthcare
Las Libres—Guanajuato, Mexico
Prowess (boat in the Gulf of Mexico to provide repro healthcare)
And area churches working on Reproductive Justice, including:
San Marcos UU Fellowship
Live Oak UU Church
Wildflower Church
San Gabriel UU Fellowship (Georgetown)
Any Austin-based non-UU churches working on RJ
If you know a contact in one of these organizations, please contact reprojustice@austinuu.org or Elizabeth Gray by clicking here. Let us know if you are just passing along a name anonymously, or if we can use your name when we approach the organization. Thank you!
