In 2016, a small group of students at Loyola University Chicago identified the lack of resources and comprehensive education provided to students on campus. This started the beginnings of Students for Reproductive Justice. Over the next few years of organizing, these issues were brought to the awareness of the student body and SRJ has dedicated itself to providing various services that educate and provide for students across Loyola’s campus. Until the university accepts the responsibility of providing adequate resources, SRJ will continue to advocate for change.

Our Mission

Through loving engagement, radical activism, and collective action, we demand our right to sexual and reproductive health at Loyola.

We are committed to creating a human affirming space that is free from misogyny, sexism, and male-centeredness.

We are committed to creating a POC affirming space that is free from racism. We act in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, knowing that Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted.

We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming space. We reject heteronormative and cis-normative thinking.

We are committed to fostering a sex positive group that values human sexuality and regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable.
