ALT This isn’t an absolute goodbye. Rather, it’s us fading back into the masses of repro workers, and allied managers, organizing for a better future for all of us. We’ll still be around. We’ll still be organizing beside you, just like we always have. In solidarity and labor justice, A Co-Founder of ReproJobs

ALT hrough July 31, 2024, we will continue: our newsletter social media programming answering your emails accepting applications for the Repro Worker Aid Fund Our career counselor sessions will continue, free of charge, through the end of 2024. Our website will live on into the future, but will not be updated after July 2024.
ALT We know this may come as a surprise or shock to a lot of you, but we think it’s the right thing to do. To be clear, this was our decision and our decision alone. It is a decision that we have been thinking about for nearly two years, and we felt that our 10th anniversary was the best time to bookend our work. We did not lose funding. We did not receive threats based on our political stances or our work. We simply believed that it was time to move forward and make space for new leaders who could dedicate the time and energy to this work, with fresh ideas, from a worker’s perspective.
ALT We are so proud of the work that we have accomplished with all of you. We are honored by the trust you put in us to support you as you dream up solutions for better working conditions during one of the most difficult political moments our movement has ever seen.
ALT We set our sights on educating our movement about the connections with labor organizing. Together, we: set up a blog to discuss policies held webinars on unions issued two reports on salaries analyzed our paid leave policies built a salary and jobs database hired a career counselor established the Repro Worker Aid Fund formed over 50 unions in repro
ALT Because of this shift, a program officer at a foundation reached out to help us grow our work because she knew the power of a paid internship for folks coming from low-income and working-class families. With her investment in 2019, we were able to transform our work in a new way.
ALT A year later, the work shifted when we started challenging the racism and anti-Blackness that is pervasive within our workplaces...With all of you, we began organizing workplaces to challenge systems that burned us out, replicated the racist systems we’re trying to remove, and made it difficult for all of us to make a living working toward justice.
ALT A Note About the Future of ReproJobs. After a decade of organizing repro workers, we're saying goodbye on July 31, 2024.
