- $1.1 million spent. RISE UP FOR REPRO: STUDENT ADVOCACY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM SEEKS TO PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS AND CHANGEMAKERS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE MOVEMENTS. THIS PROGRAM IS AN EFFECTIVE FORCE FOR TRANSFORMING STUDENTS INTO ADVOCATES AS THEY LEAD MEANINGFUL PROJECTS ON THEIR CAMPUSES OR IN SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. IN THIS ONE-YEAR ACADEMIC PROGRAM, TWO STUDENTS ARE CHOSEN FOR EACH CAMPUS AND WORK AS A TEAM. EACH FELLOW DEVELOPS ADVOCACY AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH A SERIES OF COURSE MODULES, A CAPSTONE PROJECT, AND AN ONGOING MENTORSHIP WITH A RRVAF STAFF ORGANIZER OR GRADUATE OF THE FELLOWSHIP. TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECTS INCLUDE EQUITY AND HIGHLIGHT(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)INTERSECTIONALITY, WE COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY-BASED REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE A FULL-SPECTRUM PROGRESSIVE ADVOCACY SPACE. DURING THE SECOND SEMESTER, STUDENTS CHOOSE A GRASSROOTS CAPSTONE PROJECT THAT WILL CREATE DIRECT CHANGE AND SERVICE TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY, SUCH AS IDENTIFYING BARRIERS TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE, RAISING AWARENESS OF THE NEED FOR SERVICES OR REFORMS, OR DEVELOPING PATHWAYS TO ESTABLISH POLICIES AND RESOURCES TO MAKE ACCESS TO CARE A REALITY. RRVAF IS ON 6-7 CAMPUSES PER ACADEMIC YEAR.OUR POSITIVE PRESENCE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR ACTIVITIES. VOLUNTEERS BRAVE THE HEAT AND THE SNOW TO STAND OUTSIDE AN ABORTION PROVIDER'S HEALTHCARE CENTER HOLDING SIGNS WITH POSITIVE/CARING MESSAGES ON DAYS WHEN THE CLINIC IS PROVIDING ABORTION SERVICES. OUR ACTIVISTS SERVE AS A SUPPORTIVE PRESENCE FOR THE STAFF AND PATIENTS, COUNTERACTING THE NEGATIVE ENERGY AND SHAMING TACTICS OF ANTI-ABORTION PROTESTORS. AS THEY ARE NOT VERBALLY ENGAGED WITH ANTI-ABORTION PROTESTERS, THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE A RELIABLE WAY TO SLOWLY INTRODUCE NEW VOLUNTEERS TO ABORTION RIGHTS ACTIVISM. THE PROGRAM HAS PROVEN TO BE AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF AN ACTIVITY ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY RRVAF STAFF WHICH IS NOW SOLELY COORDINATED BY LONG-STANDING, DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS AND HIGHLY REPLICABLE.THE CHANGING MINDS THROUGH STORYTELLING TRAINING PROGRAM STRIVES TO NORMALIZE ABORTION CARE AND THE FULL SPECTRUM OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE. STORYTELLING DESTIGMATIZES REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE, BUILDS COMPASSION AND EMPATHY FOR THOSE SEEKING ABORTION CARE, AND MOTIVATES LISTENERS TO ACT. THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE PROGRAM PROVIDING PARTICIPANTS WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO WRITE A STRONG, EFFECTIVE STORY AND BECOME POWERFUL ABORTION ACCESS ADVOCATES. THE PROGRAM'S GOALS ARE TO EQUIP VOLUNTEERS WITH EFFECTIVE STORYTELLING TACTICS, BUILD A STORYTELLER PIPELINE THAT SUPPORTS RRVAF'S OTHER PROGRAMS, AND CREATE A STORY BANK FROM WHICH TO DRAW. STORYTELLERS SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES, BAND TOGETHER WITH OTHERS TO SHOW POWER IN NUMBERS, AND SUPPORT CULTURE CHANGE EFFORTS BY PRESENTING THEIR STORIES WITHOUT SHAME OR STIGMA. THIS TRAINING PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BUILD PARTICIPANTS' CONFIDENCE, WHICH MAY LEAD THEM TO SPEAK ON RRVAF SPONSORED PANELS, IN DISCUSSION GROUPS, AND AT EDUCATIONAL EVENTS, GAINING EXPERIENCE TO POSSIBLY ENGAGE IN MORE PUBLIC-FACING OPPORTUNITIES.REPRO ON THE RECORD IS A PROGRAM THAT IDENTIFIES OPPORTUNITIES FOR STORYTELLERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ALLIES WILLING TO BE "ON THE RECORD" TO EDUCATE POLICYMAKERS, THE MEDIA, AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE.
