The Georgia
Reproductive Justice Access Network (GRJAN) is a
grassroots organization that promotes and supports reproductive justice
in the
Southeastern United States. We believe that everyone has the right to parent,
not to parent,
and to care for existing children; to have the resources available to
make
reproductive health decisions; and to have the power to access these
resources.
Therefore, we work to identify and eliminate barriers to abortion access
faced
by low-income people in the Southeast by providing small grants to those
who
cannot afford to full cost of an abortion and/or birth control.
Whether you're a captain, a bowler, or a fan/supporter, we're thrilled to have you! The money you raise will have a direct impact on womens lives. Did you know that 3-15 times the number of women call GRJAN's hotline each week than we are able to help at our current budget? We're proud of the number of people we've been able to help over the past year, but with your help, we can raise even more money to change the lives of low-income people in Georgia.
Now let's knock down those barriers together!
