The Local Index shows that cities already serve as a counterweight to the Trump administration’s assault on individual freedoms, bodily autonomy, and reproductive health care. Using 37 unique policy indicators, the Local Index calculates how individual cities are protecting and advancing reproductive freedom across a range of categories including access to abortion clinics, funding and coverage for reproductive health care, support for young people and families and advancement of inclusive policies for all people.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container backgroundcolor=”” backgroundimage=”” backgroundrepeat=”no-repeat” backgroundposition=”left top” backgroundattachment=”scroll” video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” bordersize=”0px” bordercolor=”” borderstyle=”” paddingtop=”20px” paddingbottom=”20px” paddingleft=”0px” paddingright=”0px” menu_anchor=”” equal_height_columns=”no” hundred_percent=”no” class=”” id=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_images picture_size=”fixed” lightbox=”yes” class=”” id=””][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/JL_PRESSER1030__02.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/JL_PRESSER1030__01-1024×824.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/JL_PRESSER1030__04-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/NIRH_SF_1612-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/NIRH_SF_3144_02-1024×682.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/NIRH_SF_1843-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/NIRH_SF_3144_02-1024×682.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/NIRH_SF_1612-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/034-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/038_02-1024×684.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/065-1024×683.jpg” alt=””/][fusion_image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://nirhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/060_02-1024×684.jpg” alt=””/][/fusion_images][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_text]NIRH and the Local Index received extensive media coverage since its launch:
