The Cicada Collective is a queer and trans* people of color centered organization that
aims to provide access to reproductive resources and address the immediate needs of
our communities by facilitating knowledge shares, collaborating with other
organizations, and providing practical abortion support (transportation, lodging, and
doula services).
We hope to increase accessibility for the communities most often restricted from these
resources, with the understanding that people’s varied experiences with reproductive
oppression and resistance shape the type of support they need. These communities
include but are not limited to: working class people of color, people with both visible and
invisible disabilities, undocumented, incarcerated, or criminalized people, sex workers,
gender and sexual minorities (queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people), legal
minors, and those individuals at the intersections of some or many of these marginalized
identities. We strive to draw from our sense of place to act in solidarity with those in our
area, hoping to strengthen these pathways of resistance.

The Bay Area Doula Project
The Bay Area Doula Project is committed to increasing access to nonjudgmental,
compassionate and empowering doula care to individuals across the full spectrum of their
reproductive experiences, with a specific focus on abortion. In doing so, we foster a culture that
trusts and supports individuals through the full range of reproductive experiences. we extend
that unconditional care and support to benefit people during abortion as well. Although the
experiences of abortion and childbirth differ, similarities exist in that they are both powerful
transitions out of pregnancy, and both necessitate supportive listening and care. The
continuous, positive presence of a doula can improve the way a person feels before, during and
after their abortion experience.

ACRAS: Autonomous Communities for Reproductive and Abortion Support
We see change is needed in providing access to low-income communities of color on
reproductive health knowledge that is culturally inclusive. We need to address these issues
because underserved communities lack comprehensive reproductive health education,
including- radical sex education, free/inexpensive and unbiased information, and abortion
resources. Our strengths and assets include a grassroots collective of empowered people of

color who are womxn, LGBT, queer who are diverse, culturally aware, bilingual , and
undocumented. We envision communities in which there is free access to reproductive health
services for everyone, support is available to anyone who wants it, and reclaiming traditional
body health practices. In the future, we will be successful in, promoting radical health education,
supporting HIV/AIDS communities, sharing skills and resources, providing doula trainings and
emotional support, helping others in their healing process, and ultimately empowering the
community.
