Desert Star Institute for Family Planning and Asian Pacific Community in Action  

NIRH is excited to make change in Arizona through a collaboration with Desert Star Institute for Family Planning and Asian Pacific Community in Action (APCA). Desert Star and APCA are both members of the Arizona BIPOC Reproductive Justice Table, which has laid the coalition-building and advocacy groundwork that this partnership will be building upon. This multi-pronged agenda’s focus areas are to 1) increase safe, equitable access to abortion without shame or stigma and 2) eliminate racial and economic disparities in reproductive and pregnancy-related health outcomes. NIRH will assist in proactively engaging with likeminded stakeholders as well as instituting a RJ Leadership training program.
