  Community Organizer

  #Fight4HER is a grassroots campaign of Population Connection Action Fund focused on mobilizing action against Trump’s Global Gag Rule and in support of the bill to block it, the Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights (HER) Act. Activists, organizers, and community leaders around the country are working together to take direct action that puts pressure on members of Congress to support the HER Act.As a field organizer, I recruit, train, and work with a team of volunteers to build support in the community to end Trump's Global Gag Rule. I work with volunteer teams to convince members of Congress to stand up to the Trump administration and fight for family planning and comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion, for individuals around the globe. Using grassroots tactics, working with community partners, and developing relationships with elected officials I work at a community level to effect change and fight for reproductive rights.
