What Sister Song, Inc. does

SisterSong, Inc. is a private nonprofit organized as the national Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, headquartered at 1237 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization's stated mission is to strengthen and amplify the collective voices of indigenous women and women of color to achieve reproductive justice by eradicating reproductive oppression and securing human rights. Its program portfolio spans four core verticals: Birth Justice (including the Birth Justice Care Fund, labor support training, and doula programs); Fertility Justice (anchored by the Fertility Justice Now campaign coalition and the annual Black (In)Fertility Awareness Week); advocacy and education (Healing Justice, RJ Training & Leadership Development, Youth Program, Black Men Roundtable, Trust Black Women, Faith Work, Artist United For Reproductive Justice); and convening (Road To Essence national tour, Let's Talk About Sex Conference, and the F*ck Marry Kill podcast).

SisterSong operates no proprietary technology platform, software products, or APIs; its digital surface is limited to a Squarespace website, a Spotify-hosted podcast, social media channels, and an Etsy merchandise storefront. State-level organizing infrastructure is staffed via coordinators in Georgia, Kentucky, and North Carolina. The go-to-market is grassroots and coalition-based rather than commercial: programs are delivered directly to communities through events, training, advocacy days, and member organizing, with distribution via the national Road To Essence tour across cities including Detroit, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, and Louisville.

The funding model relies on individual donations (processed through a Blackbaud donor form) and membership contributions offered via a "donate button" rather than fixed pricing, consistent with a 501(c)(3)-style nonprofit operating budget. SisterSong does not disclose revenue, headcount, or audited financials in the provided data. Strategic partners span legal (Center for Reproductive Rights), medical (Morehouse School of Medicine, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, PCOS Challenge, Muna Fertility), cultural (The Gathering Spot, MOCAD, BLD PWR/Kendrick Sampson), and convening (The Global Black Economic Forum) organizations.

Direct peers

• Center for Reproductive Rights: Global legal advocacy organization using human rights frameworks to advance reproductive rights — SisterSong explicitly partners with CRR on the Fertility Justice Now campaign for legal expertise. Comparable in mission framing around rights-based reproductive advocacy.
• Forward Together: Multi-racial, intergenerational organization focused on reproductive justice and family economic security — explicitly using the RJ framework that SisterSong promotes. Comparable in mission and in centering women of color and LGBTQ+ communities.
• National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice: Reproductive justice organization building Latina/x power to advance health, rights, and dignity. Directly comparable as a race-explicit RJ organization; SisterSong's WOC framework and NLIRJ's Latina/x focus address parallel communities with similar structural barriers.
• Guttmacher Institute: Research and policy organization focused on advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights. Peer in the reproductive rights/justice evidence ecosystem that SisterSong's policy work relies on, with overlapping policy priorities in fertility care access and maternal health.
• Black Mamas Matter Alliance: A cross-sector coalition advancing Black maternal health, rights, and justice — directly comparable to SisterSong's Birth Justice Programs. SisterSong lists BMMA as a core coalition partner in the Fertility Justice Now campaign, underscoring direct peer overlap.
• In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: National Black women's reproductive justice policy and advocacy organization explicitly aligned with the Reproductive Justice framework SisterSong uses. Direct peer in the WOC-led RJ movement, with overlapping policy priorities around maternal health and abortion access.

Broad incumbents

• National Women's Law Center: Large, well-established women's rights policy and advocacy organization that addresses gender equality and reproductive rights alongside broader issues like economic security and education. Broader portfolio than SisterSong but overlapping on gender and reproductive justice policy work.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: The largest U.S. reproductive health and rights organization, providing both clinical services and advocacy. Operates in the same broad movement space as SisterSong but with substantially greater scale, funding, and direct-service capacity.
• ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project: The ACLU's dedicated reproductive rights legal and advocacy arm, operating within a much larger civil liberties portfolio. Overlaps with SisterSong on policy advocacy and rights-based framing, but at significantly greater scale and scope.

Emerging players

• National Birth Equity Collaborative: Organization focused on eliminating racial disparities in maternal and infant health through training, policy, and research. Direct overlap with SisterSong's Birth Justice Programs and Maternal Health initiatives, with a more research-and-training emphasis.
