The Womxn Project is dedicated to building a strong movement that harnesses the power of art, activism, and advocacy. We believe that together we can dismantle systems of oppression and uplift the voices of people in our communities throughout Rhode Island in order to shift power and shape the policies that impact our lives and the lives of our neighbors. We strive to elevate principles of bodily autonomy, comprehensive reproductive healthcare, and racial justice through our work.
The Womxn Project is committed to fighting for our values to our fullest capacity. We increase the impact of our activism by signing on as coalition members or member organizations in support of state and federal legislation. This list represents a library of our solidarity. It memorializes where we have published our name in support of an organization or legislation across the country.
