Welcome to Our New Site!

We are so thrilled to debut our fabulous new website, designed by the multitudinously talented Bryan Reedy! This project has been some time in the making, and we're incredibly grateful to the behind-the-scenes volunteers who've provided countless hours of tech support to the Project over the years.

We're so lucky to be supported by such a fabulous community, and we can't wait to see what the future brings!

Dear friends and supporters, We are so thrilled to announce the pre-sale campaign for our new Zine, DIY Doula: Self-Care Before, During, & After Your Abortion .

Volunteer with Us! Now Accepting Applications for Spring 2017

We are recruiting volunteer full-spectrum doulas to become part of the Doula Project! People who are passionate, caring, and committed are encouraged to apply.

People with flexible/free weekdays are ideal. We are accepting applications until midnight on February 13, 2017. The mandatory training for new volunteers will be on April 21 (5:30-9 pm), April 22 (9-5 pm), and April 23 (9-5 pm). Applicat
