Dear RRASC Community, I have made the difficult decision to depart from CLPP. I will go on to other things but will always be involved with the movement. I would like to first and foremost give thanks to the many incredible folks who have guided, coached, and believed in me through the RJ movement. I would not be here without any of you. CLPP has been my gateway to Reproductive Justice from the very beginning.

2020 went off with a bang! The winter New Leadership Networking Initiative (NLNI) brought dozens of emerging reproductive justice leaders around the country to Puerto Rico for a generative conversation, building individual skills, and fostering cross-organizational connections. As coronavirus entered the U.S. many of our programs like our annual conference and Reproductive Rights Activist Service Corps (RRASC) had to be shifted to accomodate necessary safety measures for all attendants and interns. Read more about our previous programming and next steps here.

This year, CLPP continues to prepare young people for the front lines of today’s struggle for reproductive justice. We train, educate, connect, and inspire thousands of emerging leaders who are fiercely working toward a vision of reproductive freedom. Read more about our impact and transitions during 2019-2020 academic year here.

CLPP stands in solidarity with communities resisting the systematic killing of Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color at the hands of police. We condemn the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, and too many others whose lives have been cut short by white supremacist violence.
