OUR HISTORY
Collective Power has been engaging young people in reproductive health, rights, and justice activism since 1981.
At that time, Ronald Reagan had just been elected, anti-abortion influence was intensifying, and pro-choice activists were struggling with the right-wing backlash against the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. In those years of political retrenchment, Hampshire College’s third president, Adele Simmons, launched Collective Power – then known as the Civil Liberties and Public Policy Program – to work with students and other young constituencies and bring their energy and ideas into the reproductive rights movement.
