Chapters

Campus chapters are the heart of URGE’s work. All over the US, groups of dedicated students are working tirelessly for reproductive justice -- tackling issues specific to their campus, speaking out about state policy, & contributing to national campaigns.

How to Start an URGE chapter!

URGE is dedicated to young activists. We are the only national reproductive justice organization exclusively working with young people and students. That means that all of our resources are focused on you! Leaders within our network get exclusive access to summits, conferences, workshops, conventions, and various trainings across the nation at little to no cost. URGE also has created workshops and trainings to develop young leaders’ skill sets and to further them into reproductive justice careers.
