"RHITES has been an important partner for Cobalt to advance education and community building. With RHITES support, Cobalt was able to convene the Regional Abortion Alliance in 2023 and convene Cobalt's Medical Advisory Committee in 2024 to have thoughtful discussions about supporting abortion seekers accessing TMABs, supporting clinics to provide abortion care through a telehealth setting, and understanding the current and potential future political landscape surrounding TMAB care."

"We had a great experience working with RHITES. Their team understood that our right to bodily autonomy includes the right to access the reproductive healthcare we feel most comfortable with. With funding we received we were able to work with activist creatives to develop an interactive webpage that addresses misinformation in English and Spanish."
