Access Programs · In Community
Supporting community-based organizations and coalitions with promising practices to increase access to EC — and connecting students to the reproductive health infrastructure that already exists around them.
Our Regional Fellows are taking over the South
Access to EC — whether over the counter or through a healthcare setting — often comes with barriers. We work alongside CBOs, coalitions, and collectives to understand what those barriers are, navigate complex local landscapes, and make sure community members have the information they need.
Fellows in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana recruit and organize alongside students across their states. As trusted members of their own communities, they train other students on how EC works and connect coalitions and campuses to shared resources.
Real access means that a person knows it exists, knows where to find it, can afford or obtain it, can physically get to it when they need it, and feels safe doing so without judgment."

"EC may technically be available in Florida, but that availability isn't the same as equitable access."

"Over 30 independent pharmacies closed statewide in Alabama in 2024 alone."
