Empowering Rochester through sexual and reproductive justice by  connecting community, resources, and advocacy to build equity, autonomy, and collective power.

Our Mission

Activism Protest Sign

Roc.SRJ is a Rochester-based collective fighting for sexual and reproductive justice through community connection, education, and advocacy.

We believe everyone deserves the freedom, knowledge, and resources to make decisions about their own bodies and futures. We connect people across Monroe County to the support they need, challenge inequity, and work to build a more just, informed, and empowered community.

01

Education is Power

We gather and analyze data to identify disparities in sexual and reproductive health outcomes across Rochester neighborhoods. We then turn that into workshops so our community understands how to become their own advocate.  

02

Community Action

Mobilizing local residents and organizations to advocate for reproductive justice through education and civic engagement.

03

Policy Advocacy

Advancing systematic changes that ensure equitable access to health resources and reproductive autonomy for all New Yorkers.

Current political landscapes threaten the core of our identities and the autonomy of our bodies. We are witnessing a systemic push to enact legislation that erases marginalized histories and policies that ignore our fundamental needs—from healthcare access to family values. In many ways, institutional power seeks to undermine the survival of those most excluded from our social safety nets. We refuse to be silenced or rendered invisible. To secure our future, we must prioritize collective resistance.

 

Our Path Forward:

* Cultivate deep knowledge within our networks to sharpen our critical analysis.

* Establish collaborative hubs for learning about legislative action and public policy.

* Strengthen our community bonds through consistent, inclusive engagement.

 

Building power begins with the refusal to be erased by the systems meant to serve us.​
