New data shows ectopic pregnancy deaths are rising, with higher rates in states with strict abortion bans. Here in Alabama, ectopic pregnancy care is legally allowed but what does reproductive healthcare look like when getting care in time can be the difference between life and death?

When the legislature returns in 2027, the fight over evidence-based birth center regulations and CPM scope of practice will be on the table. This campaign is about making sure birth workers have the organized people power to win.

Alabama has the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation & 37% of our counties are maternity care deserts. In January 2026, the Court of Civil Appeals ruled freestanding birth centers can be regulated as hospitals — a decision midwives & birth centers are now challenging at the AL Supreme Court

We got to talk with Yamani Hernandez of Groundswell Fund as we gathered all Groundswell grantees to discuss the possibilities within the fight for bodily autonomy. We also got real on how funders can better show up for the orgs they support and the relationships they can play a part in growing.

Sexual health shouldn’t come with shame. This #WorldSexualHealthDay, we’re talking HIV, STIs and why fighting stigma is reproductive justice. Everyone deserves information, care and the freedom to make decisions about their sexual health without fear, judgment or shame.

Last week we went LIVE for Hot Girl Summer to talk about how pleasure is part of reproductive justice, too. It’s about having the freedom to make decisions about our bodies, prevent harm AND experience joy, intimacy, and connection on our own terms.
