Advocates Alliance

Advocates Alliance seeks to support organizations that challenge systemic barriers and lead positive change in areas that reflect PPNCSNJ’s mission by centering health equity and reproductive justice.

Scroll below to learn more about the program, its goals, and how to apply!

Centering Reproductive Justice & Health Equity

Developed by SisterSong, reproductive justice is defined as the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent children in safe and sustainable communities.

Health equity is when every person has the opportunity to attain their full health potential, and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances. We encourage applicants to consider how these frameworks apply to their efforts.

Investing in BIPOC & Marginalized Communities

Advocates Alliance is about investing in community projects that serve the comprehensive needs of BIPOC and marginalized communities in pursuit of eliminating health disparities.

We are committed to providing care and resources that improve the lives and health outcomes of the communities we serve. We are proud to offer high-quality, affordable health care services and recognize that advancing reproductive justice and health equity includes, but is not limited to, sexual and reproductive health care.

Addressing Intersectional Systemic Barriers

The systemic barriers faced within communities of color are not singular. We aim to foster more diverse partnerships across areas including but not limited to healthcare, immigration justice, economic development, family and youth support, housing justice, food and nutrition security, violence prevention, rehabilitation, environmental justice, LGBTQ+ justice, etc.

We value the opportunity to work collaboratively toward dismantling structural inequality and achieving holistic well-being.
