Virginia

Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice Virginia is part of National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, serving to amplify the our voice, organizing, and advocacy presence in Virginia. Latina Institute Virginia was established after a Latinas Organizing for Leadership and Advocacy training held in Virginia in 2012.

We work with activists and leaders throughout Virginia to inform, organize, and mobilize our communities on reproductive justice issues that impact our families and our lives.

We fight to continue to change Virginia at the structural level, while helping our activists transform at the personal level. At the Latina Institute Virginia, our goal is simple – to amplify our voices so that they can continue to lead in creating a Virginia with true reproductive justice for all.

Since 2012, we have worked to increase visibility of our communities in the reproductive justice movement, cultivated well-informed leaders to strengthen our state and national reproductive justice work, and built networks of activists in Virginia to inform our policy agenda.

Key Issues for Virginia

Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom- Yes on 1 Campaign 

With access to abortion care banned or restricted in huge swaths of the country, we cannot allow Virginia to be next. The Constitutional Amendment (CA) would establish the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including abortion care, without interference; and the right to make decisions about all matters related to pregnancy without discrimination. . This amendment is on the Ballot for November 3rd as Question 1. Learn more about how to get involved by reaching out to the Virginia team or joining an upcoming phone bank.

Why this matter now:

• This constitutional amendment will determine whether Virginia’s Constitution explicitly protects reproductive freedom.
• What happens in Virginia reaches beyond our state. People from across the South travel to Virginia for reproductive health care.
• Virginia’s decision matters to the people who live here and to people across the region who depend on access to care.
