BODILY FREEDOM FOR ALL.

Bodily freedom means that you have sole decision-making power over your body.

The Womxn Project blends public art with public policy to further reproductive rights, the right to gender-affirming care, LGBTQ+ rights, and healthcare access for all Rhode Islanders.

We work to force power back into the hands of the people. Our collaborators are legislators, volunteers, parents, educators, doctors, students, and artists.

Together, we change laws in Rhode Island.

How we make Change

LEGAL PROTECTIONS

Since 2017, our efforts have helped pass five new pieces of state legislation that preserve bodily freedom, prevent censorship, and increase voting access. We won't stop until all bodily freedoms are legally protected in our state.

Government Transparency

Rhode Island has been a “blue state” for over 40 years, but our ongoing research shows that even Democratic candidates often don’t support reproductive or LGBTQ+ rights, or are afraid to support them publicly. That's why started the Bodily Freedom Forever Index (BFFI), where we collect and publish the stances of every elected official in Rhode Island on these key issues.

Community Action

The emotional impact of art is at the heart of our work. Our public art spectacles and creative lobbying magnify our message and gain support for our policy efforts. We mobilize community members across the state to come together- unapologetically and en masse.

How We Empower Rhode Islanders

TWP and our volunteers follow the activities of school committees, town and city councils, and judicial nominating committees in all 39 municipalities in Rhode Island. If bodily freedom is at issue, we'll be there, mobilizing our community and training them to testify, protest, and speak out. We know that anyone can be an activist, and we show you how.

What can you DO?

Activism is different for everyone! We encourage you to take engage in the type of activism that best suits your comfort level.
