Who We Are

South Texans for Reproductive Justice (STRJ) is a BIPOC, queer-led organization which came together in 2013 as Texas abortion clinics faced targeted political attacks. We officially launched in 2014 and received our 501(c)3 non-profit status in 2019. STRJ is based in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) on the Texas-Mexico border. We currently serve twelve counties in South Texas.

STRJ founded the clinic escort program at the now closed abortion clinic in McAllen through some of the most aggressive anti-abortion protests in the state. They held large rallies to counter the annual March for Life held in the RGV. Today, STRJ continues to advocate for reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and access to reproductive healthcare in the Rio Grande Valley.
