- #2 $1.37MCommunications As dedicated advocates for the communities in which they live and work, our physicians continue to provide an expert perspective on reproductive health care and explain clearly how restrictions on any aspect of reproductive health care impact their ability to provide evidence-based care to patients. They offered front line and expert perspectives on the ripple effect of abortion bans and how they've impacted provider training inequities, the intersection of criminalization and abortion bans, and devastating implications on maternal and infant health. Through testimony, reporter education, media appearances in print and online, on the radio, and on television, and speaking out on their personal social media platforms, there were many opportunities to demonstrate the harm caused by health care restrictions on state and national levels and center the compassion, research, and evidence at the core of the work we do. In the 2024 fiscal year from July 2023 to June 2024, the PRH social media accounts lifted up the expertise of our physician advocates to our over 30,000 followers. PRH.org had over 50,000 unique users with over 70,000 sessions. . Our doctors spoke out on reproductive health access in The Associated Press, UPI, Huffington Post, Politico, The Nation, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and more. . Our physician advocates regularly engaged reporters on the safety of medication abortion, the variety of reasons people need access to abortion care including in emergency situations, the real threat of criminalization on pregnant people across the country, the safety of self-managed abortion, and the long-lasting impact of abortion restrictions on provider education and community safety.

How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Centered Leadership Developmentmethodology: community_centered_trainingBy integrating community-building, peer networking, and inclusive selection processes into leadership training, we build sustainable advocacy capacity because long-term movement strength depends on mutual support, representation, and empowerment of those most impacted.
- Intersectional Reproductive Justice Advocacymethodology: intersectional_justiceBy linking reproductive health access to broader systemic injustices—including racial, immigration, transgender, and climate justice—we produce more durable policy change because reproductive oppression cannot be addressed in isolation from other forms of structural inequity.
- Physician-Advocate Mobilization with Equity Lensmethodology: physician_advocate_mobilizationBy training and organizing physicians as public advocates using an equity-centered, anti-oppression framework, we strengthen policy advocacy and public discourse on reproductive health because clinician voices grounded in clinical experience and social justice principles are more effective at reducing stigma and influencing change.
- Stigma Reduction through Evidence-Based Discoursemethodology: destigmatization_through_discourseBy centering evidence, compassion, and professional discourse in public communications and education, we reduce abortion stigma and expand access because reframing abortion within clinical and ethical legitimacy shifts public perception and weakens policy barriers.
