She is fierce in her advocacy for equity and justice, and she is passionately committed to transparency and democracy reform in order to bring more people into the political process.

“Senator Becca Rausch is a proven leader in our state’s reproductive rights movement, unapologetically fighting for proactive policies that promote comprehensive sex education, adequately fund family planning programs, and ensure more equitable access to safe, legal abortion. As one of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund’s ROE Act Champions, Senator Rausch has been a bold and vocal advocate of our campaign – both inside and outside the State House – to remove medically unnecessary barriers to abortion care that disproportionately harm young people, Black and brown people, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people. The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund is proud to endorse and stand alongside Senator Rausch in the fight for true reproductive freedom for all. As one of Senator Rausch’s constituents, I am grateful for her tireless advocacy for the health and well-being of our community.” - Tricia Wajda, Vice President of External Affairs, PPAF-MA
