MISSION STATEMENT

The Bay Area Doula Project is committed to increasing access to nonjudgmental, compassionate and empowering doula care to individuals across the full spectrum of their reproductive experiences, with a specific focus on abortion. In doing so, we foster a culture that trusts and supports individuals through the full range of reproductive experiences.

HOW WE DO IT

Our work is accomplished through dedicated volunteers who:

• Educate and train full-spectrum doulas both locally and nationally.
• Foster dialogue in the Bay Area community about reproductive health and justice issues.
• Nurture solidarity and collaboration with our allied organizations through outreach and networking.
• Partner with ACCESS Women’s Health Justice to provide volunteer doula support to people seeking abortions.
• Provide ongoing support to local clinic-based volunteer doula programs.

WHY WE DO IT

The Bay Area Doula Project believes:

• Every person’s reproductive experiences are unique.
• Every person deserves respect and integrity throughout their reproductive experiences.
• Every person should have access to safe and caring reproductive health care options and support services.
• People of all genders deserve care and respect when accessing abortion or other reproductive health services.
