"I think society needs to be more active on this issue, I mean the truth is with all these restrictive laws, the only people who are being restricted are poor women. So no woman of means will ever lack access to abortion in the US, because there are some states that will offer it."
~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ruth's Mission
The Ruth Collective's mission is to create a grass-roots network of Ruths, across the country, to assist those in need of reproductive healthcare but are required to travel to receive that care. Our goal is to leverage each Ruth's expertise and abilities to assist in arranging concierge-style services, such as transportation, lodging, meals, and financial assistance during their most vulnerable time.
Ruth's Vision
Our vision is to create a society where we feel safe, respected, and empowered. We envision a world where everyone has access to reproductive healthcare and live a life free of fear, to make their own choices for their own body.
Through our collective efforts, we strive to raise awareness, advocate for change, and provide the necessary support and resources to increase access to the care they need and deserve.
