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.
HELP US BAIL OUT BLACK MAMAS
In the spirit of celebrating Mother's Day all month long, we will be joining a coalition of racial and criminal justice organizations across the country to bail out Black folks who would otherwise spend Mother’s Day in a cell because they are unable to afford bail.
New Voices goal is to raise $15,000 throughout May that we'll then match to double the number of mamas who are able to be reunited with their families across out three cities.
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.
