Our Story
Friends. Daughters. Mothers. Instigators.
Converge was co-founded by two Mississippi women with many labels but a shared vision for what could be: what if all people, no matter where they live, whom they love, what they look like, or how much money they have could access reproductive and sexual care that’s right for them? What if health care providers could increase the quality of family planning care without hurting their financial bottom line?
We’re not a contraceptive access project. We aren’t trying to increase the number of women using any particular contraceptive method. We’re not a research project. We are a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all people can access high quality family planning care when they need it, how they need it and where they live.
Converge was born in Mississippi, based on the belief that Mississippians deserve the best in their reproductive and sexual health care. Just like everyone else. The principles, vision, and work of Converge are universal and transferable beyond Mississippi.
Vision
All people have access to quality, affordable reproductive and sexual health care.
