About Repreaux
-
Repreaux Louisiana is a statewide political organization working to elect pro-choice leaders, hold politicians accountable, and build lasting political power for reproductive freedom.
Our goal is simple: change the political conditions that made Louisiana’s extreme abortion restrictions possible, and build the power necessary to restore and expand reproductive freedom across the state.
-
Louisiana already has amazing organizations providing health care, legal services, advocacy, organizing, research, and direct support.
Repreaux is being built to add something different: dedicated, year-round political and electoral capacity.
We believe changing Louisiana’s abortion laws requires changing the political landscape that created them. That means developing stronger candidates, informing voters, holding elected officials accountable, and building political power over multiple election cycles.
-
Nope. Repreaux is not affiliated with any political party.
We support leaders and policies that advance reproductive freedom. Our standard is where candidates and elected officials stand on reproductive rights, not the letter next to their name.
-
Our work will include:
Supporting pro-choice political leadership
Tracking votes and holding elected officials accountable
Helping voters understand where candidates and lawmakers stand
Advocating for policies that protect and expand reproductive freedom
Building relationships with leaders and communities across Louisiana
Developing the political infrastructure needed to compete over the long term
As the organization grows, our programs will grow with it.
Are you only focused on abortion?
Abortion access is central to our mission, but reproductive freedom is broader than any single policy.
We believe people should be able to make decisions about their bodies, pregnancies, families, and futures without political interference.
Our work will focus on the political decisions that affect those freedoms and the leaders responsible for making them.
What does success look like?
There is no single election or legislative session that will undo years of attacks on reproductive freedom.
Success means building power over time: electing more pro-choice leaders, defeating harmful policies, holding politicians accountable, strengthening the reproductive freedom movement, and ultimately restoring and expanding access in Louisiana.
How is Repreaux working with existing reproductive rights organizations?
We see our role as complementary.
Louisiana’s reproductive freedom movement includes health care providers, advocates, organizers, legal experts, researchers, abortion funds, reproductive justice organizations, and many others doing essential work.
Repreaux is focused on adding political and electoral capacity to that ecosystem while working in partnership with organizations already leading in their areas of expertise.
Can I donate to Repreaux?
Yes.
Contributions help support Repreaux’s year-round advocacy, political education, accountability work, organizing, communications, research, and organizational infrastructure.
