ABOUT
Who We Are:
Who we are: SPURR (Social and Political Understanding of Reproductive Rights) was formed by three passionate women - a therapist, a documentary filmmaker and an architect who all benefited from safe abortions. In response to the leaked Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court, Spring of 2022, the three of us were outraged that this right was being stripped, the first constitutional right ever to be withdrawn. While we, along with many of our friends, feel fortunate to live in Colorado with its protections for reproductive rights, we understood the need to protect what we have and care for those in neighboring states who will be facing a healthcare crisis. We formed SPURR to curate and provide information, education, resources and opportunities for engagement for those who were equally concerned about this loss of a fundamental right. In doing so, we have discovered that we are part of an evolving nationwide, even global, effort of women helping women.
Who We Are NOT:
We are not a fundraising organization. We are not only women - we welcome men and people of all persuasions. We are not partisan, but we support candidates and organizations that protect and encourage a woman’s right to determine her own health care decisions. We are not experts - we are constantly learning and connecting with people who are experts to share this information with our community.
