We are a New York-based doula collective offering intersectional, community-centered abortion support.
Our Vision
Reproductive Justice
Reproductive Justice is a Black Feminist framework created by SisterSong that connects reproductive rights with social, racial, and economic justice. As a collective co-founded by QTPOC, disabled, and working class comrades, we aim to follow the lead of Black and brown-led Reproductive Justice organizations as we use abortion accompaniment as a tool to help reduce the harms inflicted by the oppressive systems of capitalism, white supremacy, colonialism, ableism, and hetero-patriarchy.
Intersectional Solidarity
Access to abortion also cannot be separated from the eugenicist history and present of reproductive coercion in pregnancy prevention, abortion, birth, labor, and child-rearing.
As a Reproductive Justice-guided collective, it is our responsibility to support efforts in other movements, including abolition, decarceration, harm reduction, sex worker liberation, economic justice, disability justice, gender justice, immigration justice, and environmental justice.
Community-Centered Care
Organizing and providing support for our direct friends and neighbors, along with our national work, will be necessary to reach a future of true reproductive freedom.
Abortion care is community care. We continue and honor that community-centered legacy through our work and relationship-building.
Land Acknowledgment
Our collective is based on occupied Munsee-Lenape, Schaghticoke, and Wappinger lands. It is important to remember the colonial beginnings of “birth work” in the occupied US. We can’t do that without acknowledging the role that settler colonialism plays and played in how people access care.
We invite settler New Yorkers to pay land tax here: mannahattafund.org
