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.
- Extended Supply Access Modelmethodology: extended_supply_contraceptionBy advocating for 12-month contraceptive supplies, we improve adherence and reduce access burdens, because reducing refill frequency removes structural and logistical barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized patients.
- Innovation-Driven Barrier Reductionmethodology: barrier_reductionBy identifying and deploying simple, innovative strategies, we reduce practical and systemic barriers to birth control access, because small, scalable changes can rapidly improve equity and utilization where traditional approaches fail.
- Pharmacist-Enabled Access Expansionmethodology: pharmacist_as_providerBy expanding pharmacists' roles in prescribing contraception and supporting their implementation of reproductive health policy, we increase access at scale—especially in underserved areas—because leveraging existing healthcare infrastructure reduces systemic barriers more efficiently than building new systems.
- Policy-Centered Systems Changemethodology: policy_advocacyBy focusing advocacy on policy-level interventions, we create systemic improvements in birth control access and patient outcomes, because durable change requires altering the rules and structures that govern care delivery.
- Youth and Grassroots Leadership Development for Policy Changemethodology: grassroots_advocacyBy recruiting and training young people and individuals with lived experience in reproductive justice advocacy, we build grassroots power and create sustained policy change, because leadership rooted in community and personal experience produces more effective and durable advocacy.
