Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Coalition
Mission: Reorganized in 2004 during the March for Women’s Lives, the Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Coalition emerged to address the assault on women’s reproductive rights in Mississippi. The main goal of the Coalition is to educate Mississippians on reproductive health care using truthful and accurate information. Since, its development, the coalition has met regularly, organized workshops, recruited members, implemented and participated in rallies and marches and fought legislative initiatives to limit access to reproductive healthcare. The coalition works to educate Mississippians on the current status of reproductive health care in Mississippi and to advocate for system reform in order to broaden access to information and reproductive health services. Currently, the project is the only full-time, locally based staff program dedicated to protecting and advocating for reproductive rights in the state of Mississippi.
The Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Project has 5 main goals: to educate Mississippians about reproductive health care; build the MS Reproductive freedom Coalition; educate & train healthcare professionals and young women on emergency contraception; Implement the Take Issue, Take Charge Teen Chat Program in Holmes County; and develop & implement legislative agenda/strategies.
