Organizing and Advocacy Associate

Overview

The Reproductive Health Access Project mobilizes, trains, and supports clinicians to ensure equitable access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion. By centering communities most impacted by barriers to care, RHAP fills critical gaps in clinical education and care delivery. RHAP organizing and mobilizing is building a movement to change the way reproductive health care is provided. RHAP develops practical, evidence-based, patient-centered clinical tools and resources that set a clinical standard in the U.S. and are used widely around the world. Our clinical training programs develop primary care clinicians who provide, advocate for, and teach full-spectrum sexual and reproductive health care. Our technical assistance programs creatively address barriers to providing high-quality abortion, contraception, and management of early pregnancy loss care in primary care settings. Through our national organizing and mobilizing, we are building a movement to change the way sexual and reproductive health care is provided.
