Who we are

Holler Health Justice is a community-based organization supporting access to abortion and contraception in Appalachia. We work to reduce the financial and logistical barriers that can make care hard to reach, especially in rural and under-resourced areas.

 

Our approach is grounded in community care and in listening closely to the needs of the people we serve.

How we started

Holler Health Justice was founded in 2018 by reproductive health and justice organizers responding to the lack of abortion support available to people in West Virginia. With guidance from the National Network of Abortion Funds, HHJ launched to help address the costs and barriers that often stand between people and abortion care in the region.

 

As community needs have shifted over time, our work has grown alongside them. We’ve remained focused on meeting people where they are and responding in practical ways that reflect the realities of life in Appalachia.

What guides our work

  • We believe people know what they need and should have the support and information to make decisions about their bodies, their families, and their lives.

  • Our work is grounded in reproductive justice, which recognizes the human right to bodily autonomy, to have children or not have children, and to raise families in safe and sustainable communities. That grounding shapes how we support access to abortion and contraception in practical, everyday ways.

  • We focus our work in Appalachia, where distance, cost, stigma, and discrimination can make care harder to reach—especially for people in rural areas, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and people with low incomes—and where communities have long taken care of one another to meet their needs.​

  • We try to show up in that same spirit by being honest about what we can offer, thoughtful about our limits, and committed to using our resources in ways that respond to real needs in our communities.

Who We Serve

While our roots and relationships span Appalachia, our direct support is currently focused in West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and East Tennessee, where distance, cost, and limited local resources can make abortion and contraception harder to access.

 

This focus allows us to stay responsive and accountable to the communities we serve.

 

If someone is outside our service area or we’re not able to offer direct support, we do our best to share information about other abortion funds and resources.

Working together

Holler Health Justice is part of a broader network of abortion funds across the country. We collaborate with other organizations to share information, coordinate support, and help people access care as smoothly as possible.
