Our mission is to develop and sustain a grassroots constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing safe, legal and accessible abortion.

NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, Inc., is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization founded in 1972.

State legislatures across the country have enacted 335 anti-choice laws since 1995. Over the last decade, access to abortion services has steadily declined in Massachusetts and across the US. While abortion is legal, barriers to reproductive health services make it virtually impossible for many low-income women, women of color, and young women to get the care they need. Furthermore, anti-choice forces have actively opposed initiatives that would reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, such as expanding access to emergency contraception and comprehensive sex education.

Diversity

NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, in collaboration with its sister organization, the Pro-Choice Massachusetts Foundation, is working to promote greater diversity on an organization-wide level, to form collaborations with communities of color, and to represent the needs of our diverse constituency more fully.

In order to fulfill our mission, and to incorporate the wisdom and experience of all our constituencies, we seek the input and meaningful participation of people from the diverse groups in our state, including those who have been underrepresented in the past such as people of color, low-income people, and people with disabilities.

GAIN Access

GAIN Access evaluates opportunities and develops programs for improving access to reproductive health services in ways we can’t influence politically.

GAIN Access focuses on increasing the number of hospitals that provide abortion services, increasing access to medical abortion (RU-486) and improving access to emergency contraception (EC).

Grassroots Organizing

NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts is a leader in community organizing efforts regarding Choice in Massachusetts.

Our organization is effective because of the active involvement of hundreds of volunteers across the state who contact their legislators, work locally in elections, work at information tables to get the word out about threats to choice and who are active at the community level to promote public policies to improve access to reproductive health services.

The Organizing Committee helps sustain this effort by participating in campaigns and recruiting new members and volunteers. To learn more about the committee or any of NARAL’s grassroots organizing activities, please contact Heather at 617-556-8800 x13 or heather@prochoicemass.org.
