Third Wave is a feminist, activist foundation that works nationally to support young women and transgender youth ages 15 to 30. Through strategic grantmaking, leadership development, and philanthropic advocacy, we support groups and individuals working towards gender, racial, economic, and social justice.
Third Wave is led by a board of young women, men, and transgender activists striving to combat inequalities that we ourselves face as a result of our age, gender, race, sexual orientation, economic status, or level of education. By empowering young women and transgender youth nationwide, Third Wave is building a lasting foundation for young feminists around the country

Victories from the Reproductive Health and Justice Initiative of Third Wave Foundation
Friday, December 16, 2011 - 2:32pm
The Third Wave Foundation likes to share victories from their Reproductive Health and Justice Initiative.
The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health and Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights, along with California Latinas for Reproductive Justice, organized the second national Latina Week of Action for Reproductive Justice. This year's theme was Caminamos: Justice for Immigrant Women.Chicago Abortion Fund held neighborhood clean ups in response to racist anti-choice billboards. CAF responded immediately through protests and media outreach to make clear what these signs really are: hateful and shaming attacks on women of color in low income communities.
To learn more about their initiative and other victories they experienced in 2011, click here.

Third Wave funds organizations across the nation through the Reproductive Health and Justice Initiative.
We offer financial support in the form of grants, technical assistance in the form of trainings, workshops, and connections with experts, as well as networking opportunities for young leaders to meet and collaborate with one another to build a larger movement.

Dr. Susan Wicklund: The Perils of Providing Abortions
Just one month after the death of Dr. George Tiller, the Center for Reproductive Rights released a chilling report that shows abortion providers and their clinics are under siege. A four-month investigation in six states revealed that death threats, break ins, and assaults continue to impede women's access to clinics. Rather than use Tiller's death to make the case that doctors and their patients should be protected, the federal government has done very little. So how should those who believe in a woman's right to have an abortion respond?
