The Doula Project is a volunteer-run, collectively led organization<br />

of over seventy-five full-spectrum <strong>doula</strong>s. Our <strong>doula</strong>s have<br />

backgrounds as social justice activists, teachers, childbirth<br />

educators, birth <strong>doula</strong>s, social workers, writers, performers, and<br />

reproductive health professionals. Since we were founded in<br />

2007, we've supported hundreds of birth clients and over ten<br />

thousand people through abortion and fetal loss.<br />

Traditional <strong>doula</strong> services are often inaccessible to the people<br />

who need them most: low-income people and people without<br />

existing support structures. By partnering directly with healthcare<br />

providers in New York City, we become part of the clinic structure<br />

for both clients and healthcare service providers, seamlessly<br />

integrating support into our clients' experiences regardless of the<br />

outcome of their pregnancy. The Doula Project works to create a<br />

society in which all pregnant people have access to the care and<br />

support they need during their pregnancies and the ability to make<br />

healthy decisions for themselves, whether they face birth,<br />

miscarriage, stillbirth, fetal anomaly, or abortion.<br />

Every <strong>zine</strong> sale helps The Doula Project provide free and sliding<br />

scale copies of the <strong>zine</strong> to people having abortions. Zine sales<br />

also support our work providing free full-spectrum care and<br />

partnering with other organizations around the country to change<br />

the landscape of reproductive rights, access, and support. The<br />

Doula Project is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.<br />

individual requests for abortion self-care advice online.<br />
