Liberation & Freedom For All
New Voices is unapologetically Black and queer and dedicated to the work of Reproductive Justice, a framework founded and built specifically for Black women, girls, femmes, and gender-expansive folx.
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Today, we announce that our leader, Kelly Davis, will be embarking on a new journey, transitioning from her role as Executive Director. Since February of 2022, Kelly has fearlessly guided New Voices through historic moments, including the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. She has kept our organization and the Reproductive Justice movement central in important discussions on sexual and reproductive rights. Her visionary leadership and critical contributions, which centered on the experiences of those who are most affected and often marginalized, has established a strong foundation for the future of New Voices. We know that her impact will be felt for years to come.
To our friends, supporters, donors and advocates, we thank you for your continued support and unwavering commitment to our organization and the work we do. For more information about this leadership transition, click below.
HOW WE DO OUR WORK
VOTER ENGAGEMENT
Voice Your Power
New Voices knows that voting is a tool of harm reduction that alone is insufficient. Our aim is to ensure that the communities we serve feel knowledgeable and informed prior to every election, so they feel empowered to vote on behalf of themselves, their families, and their communities. Our team is focused on registration in addition to the engagement, education, and participation of all eligible Black voters.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Resourcing Families
New Voices’ community organizing efforts provide direct material support, as well as healing spaces, power-building, Reproductive Justice cohorts, and teach-ins to Black women, folx, and their families across our two states. Through strategic community partnerships with nonprofits, medical clinics, and public health departments, we are providing warm linkages to support and resources.
POLICY & ADVOCACY
Shifting the Needle
New Voices is engaged in and informed by policy, which educates our outreach and organizing efforts. Our staff have an unwavering focus on Reproductive Justice, Environmental Justice, Voting Rights, Gender-Based Violence and Black Maternal Health in the Pennsylvania and Ohio legislatures, and national policy efforts around promoting Reproductive Justice legislation.
