Honoring Judy Lichtman’s 50 years of service
The Lichtman Legacy Fund will establish a general fund that can be used to support projects that honor Judy’s visionary spirit, strategic wisdom, legal expertise, coalition building, and unwavering commitment to equal opportunity and equal justice under the law.
The fund will support, among other initiatives, the creation of the Judith Lichtman Fellowship, a 12-month position for a recent law graduate to work at the National Partnership as a policy counsel, which is consistent with Judy’s longstanding efforts to mentor countless young women and launch them into fields such as law, policy, and social activism.

State Abortion Bans Threaten Nearly 7 Million Black Women
Our latest report, in collaboration with In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, shows that 57 percent of all Black women of reproductive age live in the 26 states that have banned or are likely to ban abortion.
Black Maternal Health Crisis
Too many Black women are dying in pregnancy and childbirth. We need systemic change to end this crisis and ensure communities are healthier and more responsive to Black women’s needs.
Threats On All Fronts
Every person should have the freedom to decide if, when, and how to raise a family. But many people in the United States face limits on this freedom – especially women of color, women with disabilities or with low incomes, transgender and nonbinary people, and those who are multiply marginalized. They face threats on all fronts when it comes to abortion access and policies necessary to thrive.
Advocacy
The National Partnership is on the front lines fighting for health and economic justice, reproductive rights, women’s equality, and more.
