BWWAP was founded in 2017, in the wake of President Trump’s election. The Action Project’s affiliated 501(C)3organization, Black Women for Wellness, has been a pillar of the Los Angeles community for years. But after 2016, it was clear that this is an urgent need to invest further in advocacy efforts to protect and expand reproductive rights and justice for Black women
BWWAP’s work spans a range of issues, reflecting our commitment to Reproductive Justice. Whether we are working to make beauty products safer for women and babies or advancing environmental protections that impact neighborhoods where Black women live, or rooting out racial bias in our employment or healthcare sectors, we are consistently advocating for the health and rights of Black women and their families.
