KHJN supports Kentuckians towards achieving autonomy in our lives and justice for our communities. We advocate, educate, and provide direct services to ensure all Kentucky communities and individuals have power, access, and resources to be healthy and have agency over our lives.
Direct services
KHJN provides direct services through the KHJN Support Fund, a practical support abortion fund. The Support Fund is a staff supported network of volunteers who help people seeking abortion with financial assistance, transportation, interpretation, and more.

Our Trans Health Advocacy program works to help Trans Kentuckians access the healthcare they need, as well as reaffirm our autonomy and community. We do this through in person advocacy and support, financial assistance for gender affirming care, connecting folks with online and community resources, as well as advice and assistance navigating insurance. Our program aims to put a greater focus on the intersectional barriers Trans Kentuckians face when accessing healthcare such as structural and interpersonal racism, classism, ableism, and sizeism
Education
KHJN houses Take Root. A Red State Reproductive Justice Conference which continues to create a foundational space for red state connections and organizing. As we enter into Take Root’s twelfth year, we find ourselves in a crucial moment in which to engage activists in red states.
Our Trans Health Program hosts regular virtual educational events focused on political education, skills related to healthcare access and organizing, mental health, and other issues effecting trans Kentuckians.
