Who We Are

We Are The People We Serve

Founded October 2011 in Memphis, TN, SisterReach is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit that supports the reproductive autonomy of women and teens of color, poor and rural women, LGBTQIA+ people and their families through the framework of Reproductive Justice.

Our mission is to empower our base to lead healthy lives, raise healthy families and live in healthy and sustainable communities. We achieve our work through a 4-pronged strategy of education, policy & advocacy, cultural shift and harm reduction, and our reach is local, regional, national and international.

We seek to increase awareness and impact our supporters through centering the voices, experiences and leadership of those most marginalized, curating community-centered discussions and trainings to enhance and engage knowledge and base building among the people we serve, and strategically engage stakeholders whose work aligns with our mission and vision and expands our capacity to reach our base and achieve human rights.

Prior to our existence, there was no organization or entity formally working specifically from the reproductive justice framework in Tennessee. Since our founding, the reproductive justice framework has been adopted and adapted among state and regional stakeholders who consider the reproductive justice framework and lens a strategy and practice to achieve human rights for their work and base.

Organizational Pledge

SisterReach is committed to empowering women and teens of color, poor and rural, LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming individuals, and their families from all walks of life, ethnicities, genders, and faith beliefs.

WE BELIEVE that people are most empowered when they have access to all information regarding their health and well-being.

We are committed to Reproductive Justice and applying its framework to all we do and who we are.

WE SUPPORT a person's right to lead a healthy life, raise a healthy family, and live in a healthy and sustainable community.

WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE against individuals or families in need based on their socio-economic standing, sexual orientation, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, or race.

Guided by the biblical principle expressed in Hosea 4:6 (King James Version), “My people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge...”, it is our purpose to ensure optimum reproductive and sexual health, and human rights for the people we serve while confronting and fighting all forms of reproductive and spiritual oppression.
