Lawyering Project is a mission-driven nonprofit organization focused on upholding the dignity of individuals seeking and providing reproductive healthcare in the United States.

The organization aims to address disparities in reproductive health outcomes and combat gender-based stereotypes and discrimination based on reproductive decisions. Lawyering Project collaborates with a diverse range of clients, including healthcare providers, abortion funds, governmental entities, religious congregations, and scientific researchers, to enhance access to reproductive healthcare. It operates as a fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
