Desert Star Institute for Family Planning is a Black Woman founded and Black Women led 501c3 organization working to advance Reproductive Justice in Arizona and beyond.

Our work is rooted in 4 main priorities:

1. Direct Family Planning and Gender-Affirming services including all reversible methods of contraception, medical and surgical abortion, and gender-affirming hormone therapy for adults.

2. Train the next generation of abortion providers within the Reproductive Justice framework that focuses on the whole person, providing a unique understanding of the barriers historically marginalized people may encounter in medical communities where they've felt excluded.

3. Deliver educational content and programs that help people from historically marginalized communities access reproductive health care and exercise autonomy over their bodies and lives.

4. Engage, build relationships, and mobilize local policy makers, advocates, and community members directly impacted by harmful policies towards and Arizona that provides the conditions for people to freely decide when and how to form families and raise children.

We envision a world where access to the full range of just, dignified, and exceptional reproductive and sexual health care is available to everyone regardless of circumstance or zip code, and is provided by compassionate health care professionals who also advocate for reproductive health and justice in their communities.
