 Position Title: Trust Her Clinic Manager

Background: 
Founded in 2018, the Child Poverty Action Lab (“CPAL”) has built an unprecedented coalition of local public agency CEOs collectively adopting a north star goal of reducing Dallas’s child poverty rate by  50% within a single generation. CPAL has embraced a strategic approach to tackling systemic issues underlying intergenerational poverty by focusing its support efforts on six Big Bet strategies for change. One of those Big Bets is ensuring all women have same-day access to the full range of contraceptive methods through CPAL’s initiative Trust Her.

Trust Her works to ensure that all women have access to all methods of contraception, at all times. The Trust Her Contraceptive Access Fund provides clinics across Dallas county with upfront resources to stock all methods of birth control on site so that all women can have same-day access to their method of choice.

Child Poverty Action Lab and Trust Her share the commitment to Reproductive Justice (RJ) and equity as  established by SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. SisterSong defines RJ as “the  human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the  children we have in safe and sustainable communities.” The term was originally created by African  American women in 1994 leading up to the International Conference on Population and Development in  Cairo. Today’s RJ framework carries women’s reproductive rights beyond a legal and political debate,  prioritizing the economic, social, and health factors that impact reproductive choices and decision-making  ability.
