LPJL mission:
Founded in 2015, Lady Parts Justice League is a team of comedians, writers, and producers that uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose the extremist anti-choice forces working to destroy access to reproductive rights in all 50 states. We do the job that the media doesn't, creating provocative and hilarious videos and social media content that educates people about the pervasive, discriminatory abortion laws that profoundly and disproportionately impact poor women and women of color.
Another crucial part of the League's mission is to support and raise awareness about independent abortion providers. These clinics bear the brunt of anti-abortion legislation and harassment. Several times a year, we take our talents on the road to perform comedy shows in a USO format that brings entertainment, elbow grease, and love to these clinics and their communities. When the media fails to cover important stories about reproductive rights, and when providers ask for support, Lady Parts Justice League is proud to say that #WeShowUp.
We create a fresh space for people to take action who haven't necessarily seen a place for themselves before in political or reproductive rights movements. Lady Parts Justice League fosters a multicultural, multi-ethnic, gender fluid team of creative activists who understand how important and rewarding it is to create content that comes from and speaks to a diversity of life experience.
