Since it began, KRCRC has worked to reach out beyond its Louisville roots. Our volunteers and Outreach Coordinators are available to meet with individuals or groups throughout the state, wherever there is interest in organizing a reproductive justice group. It only takes a few individuals to begin a group. KRCRC can provide resources, speakers and discussion facilitators, workshops, videos, publications, etc. Some members throughout the state have sponsored KRCRC booths at county fairs and school, church or community events. If you would like to connect with others in your area, contact us at info@krcrc.org.
Compassionate Care Those coping with a problem pregnancy may choose to meet with a clergy person trained to provide compassionate (all-options) care. These clergy support women in finding a path through a problem pregnancy that is right for them and their families. Clergy neither judge nor try to persuade women to pursue one option over another. For a referral to clergy for compassionate care, contact us at info@krcrc.org. Clergy Training If you are a member of the clergy and would like to offer compassionate (all-options) care to women and families coping with problem pregnancies, please consider attending a training session and joining the growing group of clergy who make themselves available. Contact us at info@krcrc.org. Allied Organizations KRCRC supports and publicizes the work of allied pro-choice organizations. Our newsletter, Voice for Choice, offers these groups a forum in which they can inform the public about their work, recruit members, and solicit donations and other kinds of support. KRCRC also frequently cooperates with other groups to organize demonstrations, inform the public about relevant issues, and support or oppose legislation. The pro-choice allied groups that we support are: |
