About BOP

The Black Organizing Program (BOP) at PPGNY began in 2022 as a safe space to unapologetically center and uplift the stories and experiences of Black people to provide virtually and in-person restorative justice spaces, while advocating, educating and expanding access to reproductive rights, justice, and liberation.

The Black Organizing Program model was informed by what we learned through Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) experience with Latinx organizing, including the potential for local organizers to foster relationships in authentic ways. Based on this successful model, PPFA’s Black Organizing program was designed to provide training and leadership development opportunities to build the capacity of Black organizers and volunteers, mobilize supporters, and assist Planned Parenthood affiliates in prioritizing Black organizing and building relationships with local Black communities in a culturally relevant way.

Today, Planned Parenthood provides critical health care services to nearly 3 million people, 18% of whom identify as Black.

Our Mission

Our Black Organizing Program is dedicated to supporting the advancement of reproductive justice and health equity for Black communities in New York. We strive to empower individuals, dismantle systemic barriers, and create a future where all Black people have the resources and support they need to thrive.

The sexual and reproductive health care choices of Black women, femmes, and birthing people have long been politicized. Despite the ongoing threats against their personal safety, Black communities have demonstrated a profound commitment to the liberation of all people.

But it is not enough to merely acknowledge these structural systems; we must honor the tireless work of Black reproductive justice leaders by eradicating these systems.

PPGNY knows that when we support and uplift the political and social power of Black communities through advocacy, education, and resource distribution, we will build an equitable, sustainable, and inclusive movement that centers those who are most impacted.
