Join the Board of ALF-PA!
Founded in 1985, the Abortion Liberation Fund of PA protects and expands abortion access no matter a person's reason, income, zip code, or method. We support individuals who need access to abortion today by providing counseling and financial assistance. We support individuals always through community organizing to build community power and foster community-based resources for mutual care and support. We are currently led by a working board of directors who, alongside the Interim Executive Director, collectively do the day-to-day work of running the organization, share the responsibility of governance, and ensure that we have the resources to fulfill our mission. In full transparency, we are in the process of rebuilding after a challenging 18 months that have adversely affected our fundraising and operations. We are grieving the loss of staff, board members, and funding. We are seeking individuals who are ready to join us in rebuilding our organization.
As an abortion fund, we first and foremost seek to center the leadership of people who have had abortions, people who have used abortion funds, and people who have experienced difficulty accessing abortion. We also seek to center groups most impacted by reproductive oppression and other intersecting injustices in our leadership: Black, Indigenous peoples, and other people of color, trans and gender nonconforming people, folks from low income communities, people with disabilities, immigrants, young parents, and people at the intersections of these identities and other marginalized groups are strongly encouraged to apply. We also encourage people who have never served on a board and/or without traditional leadership experience, young people or people in their early careers, and people from non-traditional educational backgrounds to apply. Preference for people who reside in Pennsylvania/Philadelphia.
