• SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES: ADVANCING REPRODUCTIVE WELL-BEING: REPRODUCTIVE WELL-BEING (RWB) IS CENTERED AROUND THE IDEA THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, SYSTEMS, AND SUPPORT NEEDED TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR BODIES, AND TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS RELATED TO SEXUALITY AND REPRODUCTION THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES. IT IS THIS CULMINATION OF EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH MORE THAN 300 STAKEHOLDERS, EXPERTS, AND PROVIDERS IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE THAT LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR THE RWB FRAMEWORK. THIS NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION SEEKS THROUGH COLLABORATION TO DESIGN SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT AND HELP INDIVIDUALS ACHIEVE THEIR REPRODUCTIVE WELL-BEING GOALS. SINCE 2021, POWER TO DECIDE HAS DEEPENED ITS ENGAGEMENT WORKING DIRECTLY WITH COMMUNITIES TO GUIDE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RWB FRAMEWORK. ADOPTING A COMMUNITY CENTRIC APPROACH, POWER TO DECIDE ACTIVELY SUPPORTS COMMUNITY ACTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE CRITICAL TO ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO REPRODUCTIVE WELL-BEING THROUGH SHARED LEARNING COLLABORATIVES. THIS SHARED LEARNING COLLABORATIVE (SLC) MODEL SEEKS TO 1) CREATE A LOCALIZED APPROACH; 2) ENHANCE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES; 3) CENTER COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT; 4) MEASURE IMPACT; AND 5) BUILD SUSTAINABLE CHANGE. THE CONTRACEPTIVE EQUITY INITIATIVE, LAUNCHED IN 2021, OFFERS ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLC MODEL. IN THIS INITIATIVE, WE AIM TO ADDRESS BIRTH CONTROL ACCESS BARRIERS BY EXPANDING RESEARCH EFFORTS TO ELUCIDATE AND FURTHER DESCRIBE THE NATURE OF THESE BARRIERS AND FURTHER DEFINE THE PREFERENCE OF PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES REGARDING CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS. THIS PROJECT ALSO SEEKS TO BOLSTER POLICY EFFORTS REGARDING CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS AND CONVENE LEADERS FROM STATE AND REGIONAL CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS PROJECTS TO FOSTER SHARED LEARNING, SYNERGY, AND EFFICIENCY AMONG THESE INITIATIVES. THE THREE CORE ASPECTS OF THIS EFFORT INCLUDE: EXPANDING RESEARCH EFFORTS RELATED TO CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS; BOLSTER POLICY EFFORTS TO SUPPORT CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS; AND CONVENING A SHARED LEARNING COLLABORATIVE OF REGIONAL & STATE-BASED CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS PROJECTS.

WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON AN UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME OF BILLS INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS, INCLUDING WORKING TO PASS THE ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION FOR SERVICEMEMBERS AND DEPENDENTS ACT.

WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ADDITIONAL STATES AS THEY THINK THROUGH HOW TO MOVE THESE POLICIES FORWARD. OUR STATE POLICY WORK ALSO ADDRESSES ABORTION ACCESS AT THE STATE LEVEL. WE MONITOR STATE LEGISLATION AND LITIGATION IMPACTING ABORTION ACCESS AS WELL AS CONTRACEPTION, AND THAT INFORMATION INFORMS THE STATE-BY-STATE GUIDE ON ABORTIONFINDER.ORG.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
