PPAV works to ensure that individuals and families have the freedom, information, and ability to make their own informed reproductive choices.

PPAV is a statewide 501(c)(4) advocacy organization whose mission is to preserve and broaden reproductive freedom through legislation, public education, electoral activity and litigation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We do this through:

Legislative activity: PPAV's legislative team works with members of the Virginia General Assembly to introduce legislation to protect and expand reproductive health care services and reproductive rights, and to defeat legislation that will restrict access to reproductive health and rights. We lobby elected officials on legislation relating to reproductive health and rights. Public education: We build grassroots strength by organizing people, communities, and groups to become informed on issues, educate elected officials, and take action on issues. PPAV has built a strong statewide network of concerned grassroots supporters that is engaged and active in our work to protect reproductive rights and educates their communities about our issues. We strive to build grassroots leadership to sustain the work we do. Electoral activity: PPAV engages in electoral activity at the state and federal levels in order to ensure a legislature that is supportive of reproductive health and rights. Litigation: PPAV engages in legal activities to defend reproductive rights.
