NIRH is thrilled to announce our 2025-2026 Policy Labs!
Our new network of partnerships with state and local organizations across the nation represents the evolving movement for reproductive freedom that will drive policy innovation and create and sustain lasting change.
Follow us on this exciting journey as we work with our new partners to create a more equitable future where every person has the dignity and autonomy to make reproductive decisions free from stigma, criminalization, or political interference.
What an incredible event! The NIRH Champions Honors Luncheon was an inspiring and energizing gathering where we honored our 2026 honorees and recommitted to a future where health care is accessible and protected.
This event served as a powerful reminder that our movement is more than ready for the fight ahead. Reproductive freedom is won when we work in partnership with one another.
Thank you to our honorees, our sponsors, and our hardworking staff for an impactful afternoon!
Thank you to our generous sponsors for supporting this year’s Champions Honors!
Your support makes this celebration possible and helps NIRH fuel the fight for reproductive freedom and lasting change in communities across the country.
The Supreme Court’s decision to maintain telehealth access to mifepristone preserves a critical pathway to care, including for patients living in states with abortion bans for whom telehealth can be a critical access point. It does not, however, erase the broader threat facing medication abortion care.
Telehealth has been a critical pathway to care, particularly for people in rural areas and those navigating travel to clinics, time off work, or child care. The evidence has long shown that mifepristone is safe, effective, and an essential part of reproductive and miscarriage care.
This case continues, and Trump and his allies will also continue their attacks. The fact that patients’ ability to access this medication can hinge on week-to-week court decisions and the whims of anti-abortion politicians underscores how relentless the attack on reproductive freedom has become. States committed to defending reproductive freedom must act now to defend against future attacks by shielding providers from out-of-state prosecution for providing abortion care, safeguarding patient data from surveillance, and ensuring that people can afford care in the face of escalating attacks.
#NationalWomensHealthWeek is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and well-being of women everywhere. But it’s also a reminder that access to abortion is a fundamental part of women’s health care — because health care should be safe, private, and on our own terms.
Reproductive rights are health rights. Bodily autonomy is dignity. And no one should ever be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will.
This week — and every week — let’s speak up for equitable, compassionate, and accessible health care for all women. 🧡
NIRH is uplifting our long-time partner, Our Justice, at the 2026 Champions Honors 🌟
@ourjusticerj is Minnesota’s longest-standing abortion fund and reproductive justice organization, working for decades to ensure that every Minnesotan can access abortion care and reproductive health services with dignity and self-determination.
NIRH and Our Justice have worked for five years to advance proactive policies that make that access real.

The Supreme Court’s decision to extend the stay preserves telehealth access to mifepristone for now, but as the case continues, patients and providers are forced to navigate engineered uncertainty, with real risks to their health and privacy.
Mifepristone is safe and effective, yet it remains under constant threat from anti-abortion politicians and judges who are intent on controlling personal reproductive health decisions and criminalizing providers.

This #MothersDay, NIRH uplifts every form of motherhood ⭐
All parents have the right to reproductive health care, economic security, and any support they need to thrive in a healthy and safe community.
There is no one definition of ‘family’, and every version deserves to be valued and protected.
Happy #FreeThePill Day!
Now more than ever, we need more birth control options and fewer barriers. There are currently 12 states across the country that require insurance to cover over-the-counter birth control, but we need more states to join that list!
Everyone should have access to the full range of reproductive health care — including contraception, abortion, and gender-affirming care — no matter who they are or where they live.
Follow freethepill and take action to spread the word about contraceptive access!

The indictment of SPLC is not a legitimate legal prosecution.
It isn’t about the facts. It is an attack on our democracy designed to scare organizations that dare to challenge the Trump administration.
We cannot accept a reality where efforts to end systemic racism are treated as threats. Efforts to silence civil rights organizations reveal a deep aversion to equity, truth, and democratic participation.
NIRH works alongside the communities most impacted by harmful and discriminatory policies to protect and advance our freedoms, and we will oppose every attempt to undermine the organizations and leaders working to do the same.
When the powerful come for those who protect the powerless, we don't step back. We step up.
