Have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar to support women of color led Reproductive Justice efforts. Watch this slide show to learn more.

Women’s reproductive health and rights are inextricably linked to environmental health and justice issues. In 2008, the Foundation brought together grant partners to form the Environmental Justice/Reproductive Justice Collaborative. The Foundation has seen firsthand how joint advocacy generates more inclusive movements and stronger outcomes for communities. Climate of Opportunity, a new report from the Foundation, summarizes the EJ/RJ Collaborative as a reference for funders, policymakers, organizations and others interested in joint advocacy work.
 
President & CEO Judy Patrick co-authors opinion editorial How a Green Economy Can Help Those Struggling Most as part of the Women's Economic Security Campaign. To learn more about this collaborative effort to increase opportunities for low-income women, visit the Women's Economic Security Campaign website.

The Elder Women's Initiative releases AGEnda for Action: Building a Movement for Elder Women's Advocacy. Additional information, and a copy of the report as a free download is available on the Elder Women's Initiative page. An executive summary of the report is available in six languages: Simplified Chinese, English, Hmong, Khmer, Korean, and Spanish.
