When I think about Jane’s Due Process turning 25 this year, I’m in awe. While our state continues to be one of the most challenging places in the United States in which to be a young person seeking reproductive healthcare, our community continues to show up to ensure that we remain steadfast in our commitment to care. While our organization has grown and shifted over the years to better meet the needs of Texas teens in an ever-changing environment and reflect our commitment to reproductive justice, the core of who we are remains the same. Jane’s Due Process was founded by fierce advocates who did what it took to find a path for young Texans facing huge barriers to abortion care, and that hasn’t changed. We’ve also expanded our support to include birth control, pregnancy support, and sex education because we heard from the young people we spoke with that these were points of struggle as well. Being responsive to what teens truly need to experience full bodily autonomy continues to be a guiding principle for Jane’s Due Process.
This report shows you the impact of your support. We’ll look back at our history as an organization. You’ll see how many young people we directly assisted and all the ways we advocated for youth reproductive autonomy in 2025. And we’ll invite you to be part of a future where all young Texans have access to what they need to thrive.
Thank you for being part of our 25-year story.
In solidarity and with deep gratitude,
Lucie Arvallo
Executive Director
Jane’s Due Process
Your support for Jane’s Due Process made it possible for young Texans to rely on us for deep support and care in 2025. Check out the impact by the numbers:
- 6,509 young Texans contacted our helplines seeking information and support for accessing abortion, birth control, STI testing and treatment, emancipation information, pregnancy care, and other sexual or reproductive health resources.
- We helped 63 Texas teens travel out of state for abortion care.
- Distributed 5,709 repro health kits containing emergency contraceptives, condoms, pregnancy tests, and information to young people in Amarillo, Bryan, College Station, San Angelo, and Lubbock.
- Supported our first-ever client through our Empowering Young Parents program, providing her with doula support throughout her pregnancy and birth.
- Provided baby care supplies to over 70 families through our Bundles of Care distribution event in Austin.
In 2025, JDP went even harder with our work advocating for expanding young people’s reproductive rights and ability to access care.
- During SXSW 2025, we hosted Yeehaw for Abortion, gathering hundreds of young people in Austin for a day of fun and connection around activism for abortion access. The event featured music, food, dancing, interactive art and zine making, as well as opportunities to connect with various community organizations and learn more about how to get involved in the movement for reproductive justice in Texas.
- Jane’s Due Process worked with local partners in San Antonio for the creation of the San Antonio Reproductive Justice Fund, which was initially created by the city in 2024. In 2025, the coalition continued advocacy to ensure that these funds could be used for abortion funding, and together won an additional $100,000 from the city for dedicated abortion travel funding before the fund was shut down by state law passed during legislative session.
- We showed up during the 2025 Texas legislative session, once again working with legislators for the filing of the My Body, My Future Act, a bill that would fully repeal the parental consent requirement for minors accessing prescription birth control in Texas.
- When young people understand how the system works, they’re better equipped to change the landscape of reproductive healthcare access in Texas. During the legislative session, our team hosted Big Rights Energy, a series of virtual sessions to help young people better understand the legislative process, gain media literacy, and work on advocacy skills.
- On July 16, 2025, our Executive Director was invited to testify before the Unites State Senate for the A Right at Risk: Protecting the Right to Contraception and Reproductive Freedom in the Post-Roe Era hearing. Every day, Jane’s Due Process hears from young people in Texas facing huge barriers to birth control access, and we were honored that Lucie was invited to share about the particular ways that contraception care is an essential right for teens. We’re dedicated to ensuring that young people are never left behind in the conversation about the need to protect and expand birth control access.
- Our Director of Reproductive Health and Education Services, Irma Garcia, joined a delegation of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations from across the United States at the United Nations in Geneva ahead of the universal periodic review of the United States’ human rights record. The coalition testified before representatives from dozens of UN member states about the diminishing reproductive rights and bodily autonomy in Texas and the U.S. at large, calling attention to how abortion bans are costing people their health, safety, and lives.
- With the increased legal attacks on immigrant communities and reproductive healthcare access, Texas border communities are particularly vulnerable to fear and intimidation and barriers to vital healthcare services. In August, JDP joined our partners from If/When/How, Abortion On Our Own Terms, and Frontera fund in Brownsville for Know Your Rights: Immigration and Reproductive healthcare, answering questions from attendees about navigating intersecting systems of oppression, providing information on what to do when confronted by immigration enforcement or seeking reproductive healthcare.
- Rosie’s Law is a people-first policy that does what Texans have been demanding for years: restore and expand insurance coverage for abortion and contraception, and ensure every Texan can make decisions about their body and future without political interference. Jane’s Due Process joined our partners from TEA Fund, Lilith Fund, and Frontera Fund once again advocating for the passage of this law and changing the narrative around insurance coverage for abortion.
Our third cohort of Youth Advocacy Fellows (former clients who had abortions as young Texans and are now advocates for access) gathered for a retreat to learn more about abortion storytelling, current advocacy happening around reproductive justice, and to begin developing their own plans for organizing around youth reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy in the coming years.
- We believe young parents and caregivers deserve spaces where they are celebrated and can receive real, non-judgmental support and resources — spaces that empower them to navigate caregiving and parenthood with confidence. In a world that often gaslights young people, strips them of their agency, and leaves them isolated, we are committed to build something completely different. In April of 2025, JDP joined our partners at TEA Fund to host the Joy of Parenting resource fair, connecting young parents with baby care items like diapers and wipes, connections with local organizations providing resources, and family fun including games and kid-friendly activities.
- In September of 2025, Jane’s Due Process hosted a parenting supply distribution event in Austin supported by the final funds from our City of Austin grant, we distributed diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, formula, and other parenting supplies to over 70 Central Texas families. We also connected attendees with a variety of reproductive health and parenting resources in the community.
- We expanded our Sex Talks sexual education program with the workshops Buss It: A Queer and POC Guide to Contraception and Pleasure and Sex Talks…but Make It HOT. These workshops provided shame- and stigma-free spaces full of joy where young people could learn more about how to have healthy and safe relationships. We’re filling the gaps left by Texas’s lacking sexual education systems.
- In September of 2024, we launched our Empowering Young Parents program to support young Texans as they navigate pregnancy and early parenting. This program is designed to fill the gaps for young people choosing to continue their pregnancy for any reason. On July 19, 2025, the first mother supported through our EYP program welcomed her baby to the world.
