Overview
This grant will support SPARK Reproductive Justice NOW! to continue its role as one of the founding alliance members of SEARE, a Southern regional partnership working to build a stronger, more visible reproductive health, rights, and justice movement in the Southeast. The project brings together organizations throughout the region to strengthen capacity and effectiveness to organize and mobilize constituencies in support of reproductive justice. The project has a strong focus on racial equity in order to unify the movement. It has an explicit aim of dismantling white supremacy within organizations, the movement, and ultimately the region. It does this through trainings, communications, and engagement, and documenting its own journey as a multiracial partnership to build strong, trusting alliances. The partnership believes that without this, the movement is weaker and less likely to grow the power it needs to secure full equitable access to reproductive rights and health information and services in the Southeast.

SPARK Reproductive Justice Now serves as an entry point and leadership pipeline for new social justice leaders, and a political home for Black women and young people centering Black queer women, trans folx, and folx living outside the gender binary. They utilize arts, culture, and media to build resources for and shift narratives about their communities. They engage in power building through grassroots organizing, advocacy, and knowledge-building. This grant supports the JusticeNOW2024 Conference to be held from November 15-17 in Atlanta, Georgia.

for the Southeast Alliance for Reproductive Empowerment project
This grant will support SPARK Reproductive Justice NOW! to continue its role as one of the founding alliance members of SEARE, a Southern regional partnership working to align reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations serving diverse communities in the Southeast. The project has a strong focus on racial equity in order to unify the movement in the Southeast for full equitable access to reproductive rights and health information and services. In this second phase of the partnership, the four anchor organizations will continue to build an infrastructure to create resources and opportunities for new alliance members through communications and engagement, policy, and a Southeastern convening space.
