Reproductive Rights
Oregon Area Progressives support the right of individuals to decide whether to have children and to use or not use birth control. The government should not interfere in these choices.
OAP recognizes that immigrants, BIPOC people, LGBTQAI+ people, and women are regularly targeted and scapegoated by people and politicians who want to distract us from their destructive and discriminatory policies.

WMF Wisconsin works to fill the gaps in abortion access by providing financial assistance to Wisconsin residents who need an abortion but cannot afford the full cost.
WMF Wisconsin aims to shift the culture around abortion from stigma, isolation, and shame to love, community, and compassion.

Embolden Wisconsin
People are always talking about empowerment and empowering people and communities. And while the intention behind the word is good, it assumes that people don't already inherently have power. Embolden WI recognizes that while people truly do have the power to radically imagine a better future and to create community-driven systems change, we often lack the curiosity, connection, and courage to harness and apply that power.
EMBOLDEN means to impart boldness or courage : to instill with boldness, courage, or resolution enough to overcome timidity or misgiving. Embolden WI is here to serve as a home for innovative health equity and civic health advocacy projects. We envision healthy, vibrant, equitable, and socially just communities and to achieve this, we are here to amplify and catalyze programs and initiatives to improve health outcomes, health equity, and civic health.
