Repro Health Hub’s Hero of the Week!
With so much positive and progressive work going on around the country, those of us at the Repro Health Hub would like to take a moment out of each week to give the spotlight to some of the awesome organizations that are working hard to promote equality and reproductive health, rights and justice by initiating our Hero of the Week! Without further ado, our first Hero of the Week is (drumroll please!)…
The Pro-Choice Public Education Project! Based out of New York City, the project is an empowering resource for young women looking to develop their leadership skills and become more active in the promotion of reproductive justice. Just check out their mission statement:
To educate young women and the organizations that serve them about reproductive health, rights, and justice in order to develop a new generation of leaders.
Aside from leadership development and effective pro-choice campaigning, the Public Education Project (PEP) also conducts research initiatives in reproductive health. Their latest undertaking (which comes out this spring! We can’t wait!) will focus on African-American, Latina, and Asian Pacific Islander women and provide a quantitative study on these populations’ perspectives regarding reproductive health, rights, and activism. Be sure to check out their website for volunteer opportunities near you or to download some of their great campaign material!
A big cheers and thanks from your friends here at the Repro Health Hub!
