National Institute for Reproductive Health/NIRH Action Fund
The National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH) and the NIRH Action Fund are advocacy groups that work directly with state and local reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations and allied groups to protect and advance access to reproductive healthcare. For more than 40 years, NIRH has been partnering with communities to build coalitions, launch campaigns, and successfully advocate for policy change. NIRH’s strategy is to go on the offensive and focus on communities where change is needed, so the fabric of reproductive freedom becomes harder to tear apart.
