SisterSong

What SisterSong does

SisterSong, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1997 and headquartered at 1237 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization operates as the largest national multi-ethnic Reproductive Justice (RJ) collective in the United States, with membership spanning Indigenous, African American, Arab and Middle Eastern, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Latina women as well as LGBTQ individuals. SisterSong was formed by 16 organizations of women of color that helped coin and institutionalize the Reproductive Justice framework, and it is recognized as a Movement Voice by the United Nations, the White House, legislators, media, and leaders of large mainstream organizations. The organization's 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.

SisterSong delivers value through programs rather than technology products. Its core offerings include the Birth Justice Care Fund (now in its sixth year, providing free doula support, maternal mental health therapy, lactation assistance, and baby essentials to BIPOC birthing people in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Florida), the Black (In)Fertility Awareness Week and Fertility Justice Giveaway (which has funded fertility treatments for 11 families across two cycles totaling $110,000), the Let's Talk About Sex Conference, the Road to Essence cultural event, the Black Men Trust Black Women Roundtable, the Artists United for Reproductive Justice (AURJ) program, RJ 101/102 training curricula, a Youth Membership program for ages 13-24, and Healing Justice and Faith Work initiatives. The organization has no proprietary technology platform; its core capability is its multi-ethnic RJ framework, movement infrastructure, and national convening role.

SisterSong's business model is community-led rather than commercial. Revenue streams include individual donations (processed via Blackbaud and PayPal), membership dues (free for youth 18-24, undisclosed for adult tiers), event registration revenue via Eventbrite (e.g., Justice Jam, Let's Talk About Sex Conference), merchandise sales through an Etsy store (SisterSongShop), and likely institutional grants supporting RJ work. Distribution is primarily direct: the sistersong.net website for membership and donations, in-person state-based programming in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Florida, and conference/event programming. The organization operates with 1-10 employees and is led by Executive Director Monica Simpson.

Direct peers

• Black Women's Health Imperative: A national organization focused on Black women's health and well-being, including reproductive justice advocacy. Highly comparable to SisterSong in target population, advocacy model, and policy focus, with overlapping direct-service and convening activities.
• In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: A national Black-women-led Reproductive Justice policy agenda organization. SisterSong is a member entity of this agenda and the two organizations are deeply aligned in framing, strategy, and constituency — making it a core peer in the same movement.
• Forward Together: A national multi-racial movement organization advancing reproductive and family justice. Highly comparable to SisterSong in intersectional RJ framing, base-building approach, and cross-movement convening role.
• Black Mamas Matter Alliance: A national alliance dedicated to Black maternal health, rights, and justice. SisterSong's Birth Justice Care Fund addresses the same Black maternal mortality crisis that Black Mamas Matter Alliance centers, making them highly comparable peers in direct service and advocacy.
• National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice: A national organization advancing reproductive justice from within the Latina community — SisterSong's most direct peer in mission, framing, and constituency, and an explicit SisterSong strategic co-development partner in SXSW programming.
• The Afiya Center: A Black-women-led Reproductive Justice organization based in Texas serving Black women and girls. SisterSong is a documented strategic partner of The Afiya Center, and they share a constituency-centered RJ advocacy and direct-service model.
• Trust Black Women: A Black-women-led movement countering attacks on Black women's reproductive autonomy. SisterSong directly hosts Trust Black Women content and convenes the Black Men Trust Black Women Roundtable, making this an integrated peer organization.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Reproductive Rights: A global reproductive rights legal advocacy organization. SisterSong works in similar movement space and SisterSong leaders engage with CRR, but CRR is a larger, more established legal-advocacy incumbent with an international footprint.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: The largest U.S. reproductive health care provider and advocacy organization. SisterSong operates in overlapping space (sexual/reproductive health access) but as a RJ movement collective rather than a clinical services provider — making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct peer.
• NARAL Pro-Choice America: A national reproductive rights advocacy organization. SisterSong shares policy goals but differs in centering women of color and the RJ framework rather than the traditional pro-choice frame — a broader incumbent in adjacent advocacy space.
