We’re the only national political organization laser focused on protecting reproductive rights in all 50 states by building political power at local levels.

Are you a pro-choice advocate interested in building political power for reproductive rights in your state? Project 50 has tools to support you.

Eligibility

Eligibility for collaboration with and support from Project 50 is generally limited to groups that:

  • Center reproductive rights and healthcare in their Mission;
  • Are non-partisan;
  • Exist primarily to build political power for reproductive rights and access to abortion healthcare;
  • Are legally permitted under state and local law to communicate directly with voters in favor of - or opposition to - specific candidates (i.e., a PAC or an independent expenditure committee);
  • Operate year-round in a single state.

Project 50 recognizes that not every state or local group is likely to meet all these criteria. In fact, some groups may not have formed yet, instead consisting initially of a group of visionary activists.

If this is you - at any point in your evolution - we want to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Project 50 based?

Project 50’s leadership comes from all over the country. We are working to have representation on our Board of Directors from states where abortion has already been banned or severely restricted.

How can I support Project 50’s work to protect and expand reproductive rights?

Your donations make our work possible. Consult our Impact page to contribute or learn how funds are used. If you would like to discuss other ways you may be able to help steward our efforts, please contact us.

Is Project 50 a partisan organization?

No. As a non-partisan organization, we welcome collaboration across the political spectrum.

What type of organization is Project 50?

Project 50 is a 527 political action committee (PAC). Contributions to Project 50 are not tax-deductible. Federal regulations require us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of the employer of all individuals who contribute. 

How can Project 50 help establish a reproductive rights organization in my state?

The reproductive landscape varies from state to state. Some states already have one or more local or state organizations working to protect abortion access, while in others, this infrastructure does not exist yet. No matter what point a state is at, Project 50 can provide the right level of support to advance reproductive rights and get pro-choice leaders elected.

Which states does Project 50’s strategy prioritize?

Our efforts prioritize states where abortion access has already been restricted or is most at risk, states with existing reproductive health networks, and states where victory in a small number of races could shift the balance of power toward protecting reproductive rights.

What is Project 50’s strategy?

Our strategy is based on a winning formula that was first applied to restore reproductive rights in Illinois. It entails laser focus solely on the issue of reproductive rights, and solely at the state level. We support local and state organizations as they lead the way.

Why is Project 50 focused on protecting reproductive rights at the state level?

Without nationwide constitutional protection, the only way to ensure Americans’ reproductive rights is to protect them in local laws and state constitutions. States need the political infrastructure to elect legislators who are committed to supporting abortion access. This infrastructure must be overseen by independent organizations that are laser-focused on this objective. These groups are at the forefront of protecting reproductive rights in their state, and their efforts to drive voter engagement and build political power have the greatest potential for change.
