Before that, she spent many years working in clinics providing direct care to abortion and reproductive health seekers.
Rebecca also spent many years as a birth worker, supporting people through pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum. A former academic, she has published, taught, and researched in the fields of reproductive health and freedom, gender, and sexuality.
Grounded in empathy, intersectionality, generosity and a bias toward action, Rebecca seeks to live and move through the world in a way that fosters racial justice and freedom for LGBTQ individuals and families. A queer cis-femme married to a trans- non-binary partner (aka, Al, the love of her life!), Rebecca is a mom to twin toddlers who make her life more full, beautiful and complex everyday.
