Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about New Voices and our work and the Reproductive Justice movement.
Where does New Voices Work?
We have offices in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio. Our work focuses on the regions around those three major metropolitan areas, although we occasionally do state-level work.
How old is New Voices?
New Voices was founded in 2004 meaning we’ve been around for more than 20 years. We began our work in Pittsburgh and have since expanded to Philadelphia and Cleveland. If you would like to learn more, check out Our History.
What is Reproductive Justice?
Reproductive Justice is a combination of the phrases “reproductive rights” and “social justice”. It is a human rights- centered and Black-led radical movement that was started in 1994.
How is Reproductive Justice different from Reproductive Rights?
Reproductive Rights, at its core, is a legal movement. It is focused on the legality of abortion and maternal healthcare, and less so on access or the social determinants that lead to women and femmes needing care in the first place. Reproductive Justice is about questioning the racist and misogynistic structures of our society that even allow things like the legality of abortion to be called into question.
What is the difference between our work and our approaches?
Our work described our four core programmatic activities. These include Community Organizing & Engagement, Integrated Voter Engagement, Policy & Advocacy, and Narrative Power. Our approaches are the theories and tactics behind how we do our work and how we ensure it has the intended impact on our communities. These include mutual aid and resource distribution, leadership development, and narrative strategy.
If I want to get involved more, what can I do?
There are so many ways to get involved with New Voices! You can join us for an upcoming gathering in one of our three cities, apply for a leadership development cohort, donate or fund our work, learn more about Reproductive Justice, and so much more.
