To advance reproductive justice, the Abortion Rights Fund of Western Massachusetts provides funding and practical support for abortion access in Western Massachusetts and beyond, in partnership with local and national organizations.
As we work towards a world where abortion is a part of universal health care, we envision ourselves deeply connected with local communities and organizations that share our values.
ARFWM aligns with the reproductive justice movement as framed by SisterSong. We center the people most impacted by structural inequalities.
