Who They Are
The Abortion Rights Fund of Western Massachusetts was started in 1988 by a group of local women who wanted to fight barriers to abortion care. Over the years, their organization has grown from an all volunteer, kitchen table organization led by a working board into a 501(c)3 non-profit with staff, volunteers and a governing board. Their purpose is to advance reproductive justice, the Abortion Rights Fund of Western Massachusetts provides funding and practical support for abortion access in Western Massachusetts and beyond, in partnership with local and national organizations.
